Product Description
Six-Cover Stainless Pillar Post Trim for the 2013-2022 Buick Encore (PP53561)
The set. PP53561 has six polished stainless pillar post covers for the Buick Encore, priced at $84.49. Each is 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. One fitment row: Buick Encore 2013-2022, tagged 4-door, SUV.
Where six sits. The Encore record links five pillar sets on one row, going up by two covers each time: PP53560 with four, this set with six, PP53562 with eight, PP53563 with ten and PP53564 with twelve. None has a note; none lists its posts or any widths. So we can't tell you in words what six covers that four doesn't. The gallery photos show it. Compare the galleries next to each other, then check the posts on your own Encore. If you'd like a second opinion, we'll look at the photos with you on the phone.
Year. Ten model years, 2013 through 2022, share the one row. An Encore from 2013 through 2022 takes the six covers. The record doesn't split those years into separate rows, so it gives us nothing more to go on than the span itself; if your Encore sits at either end of it and you have any doubt, a short call to check is worth making.
Phone. Quality Automotive Trims, 877-752-3811. Quote PP53561 and the year, and if you've already opened the galleries, tell us which posts caught your eye. We can talk through whether six is the right step for your Encore, or whether one of the other counts suits what you have in mind better, before you place an order.
Appearance only. The six dress the window posts on the Encore and change nothing about how it works, leaving doors, side glass and seals as they were. The 304 alloy keeps corrosion off by its own makeup.
Mounting. Each cover is fixed with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the post's existing surface. No holes and no Buick trim unclipped. The Installation tab gives temperatures and the cure period.
Prep. The tape can only hold as well as the surface, so give this step time. Wash all six posts in soapy water, rinse and dry. Lift wax, sealant and polish. Repair any paint that's powdery, cracking or peeling. Degrease with rubbing alcohol on clean lint-free cloth until nothing transfers, then run a fingertip down each post for dents. Lay out painter's tape, a pencil and a towel.
Fitting. Shade, dry air and a calm day. Check the six against their photos and report any damage straight away. Dry-fit each with the liner on, ease it until the margin is even and mask its outline, numbering the masks. Then singly: liner off, into its mask, firm steady pressure along the face and both edges. Peel the masks when all six are down and step back to look them over.
If one won't settle, don't push harder or trim it. Keep its liner on and phone us at 877-752-3811. Once cured, a car-soap wash and a soft towel are all the six need.

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.
