Product Description
Six-Piece Pillar Post Trim for the Cadillac XTS 2013-2019 Federal Hearse (PP53244)
Fitment first. PP53244 has one row, Cadillac XTS 2013-2019, tagged "Federal Hearse" and nothing else. With no sedan tag, it's listed for XTS hearses carrying that tag. Six covers in polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, for $111.99.
Four or six. The other Federal Hearse set is PP53243, with four covers. Neither record names posts or gives widths, so the photos have to do the explaining. Compare the two galleries and then the posts on your hearse, pairing each pictured cover with a post you can see. If two counts look close, call and we'll go through them together.
Not Federal Heritage. PP53237 is tagged "Federal Heritage Hearse," a different wording kept on its own listing. If your paperwork just says Federal, we'd suggest a quick call before you order.
The wider XTS range. Standard sedans have PP53245, PP53246 and PP53247, tagged 4-door, Sedan. Accubuilt, Eagle and S&S Superior coaches have their own linked sets. All the titles read "Fits 2013-2019 Cadillac XTS," so it's the tag on the row that sorts them.
Phone. Quality Automotive Trims, 877-752-3811. Have PP53244, the year and your coach documents ready. Read us the builder's description as it's printed, and we'll check it against the record and the photos with you before anything is ordered, which is far simpler than sorting out a return afterwards.
Appearance. The six dress the window posts on the hearse and change nothing else, and the doors, side glass and seals carry on as before. The 304 alloy keeps corrosion off through its composition rather than a coating.
Mounting. 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape holds every cover over the post's existing surface. No drilling, and no Cadillac trim is unclipped. The Installation tab gives the temperature window and the cure period, so read it before setting a day.
Cleaning the posts. Wash all six with soapy water, rinse and dry. Take off any wax or polish film. Repair paint that's powdery, cracking or peeling, since the tape will hold no better than that layer. Degrease each post with rubbing alcohol on clean lint-free cloth, turning to a fresh face until nothing comes away, and feel along for dents. Set out painter's tape, a pencil and a clean towel.
Fitting. Shade, dry air and no wind give the tape its best start. Check the six against the gallery and report any damage or missing pieces before you start. Dry-fit each with its liner on, nudge it until the margin is even and mask round it, pencilling a number on the mask. Then singly: liner off, into the mask, steady firm pressure along the face and both edges. Peel the masks when all six are on and step back to check them.
If a cover misbehaves, keep its liner on and ring 877-752-3811 rather than forcing it. Once cured, wash the set with car soap and water and dry it with a soft towel.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 6 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
