Product Description
Six-Cover Stainless Pillar Post Trim for the 2014-2019 Cadillac CTS (PP54251)
For $67.99, PP54251 brings six polished pillar post covers to the Cadillac CTS sedan, cut from 26 gauge 304 stainless steel and made in the USA. The record has one row, Cadillac CTS 2014-2019, tagged 4-door, Sedan, and no note.
It's one of four CTS pillar sets. PP54250 is the four-cover counterpart without a note. PP54444 (four covers) and PP54445 (six) are both marked "LONG VERSION - please refer to the accompanying image". Nothing in PP54251's record explains how its covers compare in shape or length with the long sets, so please use the galleries: put this one next to PP54445, the other six-cover set, and match what you see to the posts on your Cadillac.
Because there are two six-cover sets for the same car, it's worth a quick call if the photos leave any doubt. Quality Automotive Trims is on 877-752-3811; give PP54251 and your CTS's year, and say which gallery you've been looking at.
Linked CTS trim: AT54250 (side accent trim), GC54250 (gas cap door trim), LB54250 (rear license trim), LP54250 (license plate bezel), RB54250 (rear bumper accent), RT54250 (listed as a tailgate accent), SG54250 (grille accent), TH54250, TH54251, TH54252 and TH54253 (rocker panel trim), WP54250, WP54251, WP54444 and WP54445 (window trim), and WQ54250, WQ54251 and WQ54252 (wheel well trim).
The row runs from 2014 through 2019. Your records show the year; check it before you order, since a CTS outside those six years isn't listed.
The six covers are decorative. The Cadillac's doors, windows and weatherstrip work exactly as they did, and the 304 grade keeps corrosion away through its chemistry rather than plating.
Mounting is with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape on each cover, pressed directly onto the posts' existing paint or trim. You won't need a drill, and nothing is removed. The Installation tab gives the temperatures and cure period.
Three passes prepare the posts. Wash: soapy water, a rinse and a full dry on all six. Clear: take off wax and polish, and repair paint that's powdery or lifting, since the tape only bonds as well as that layer. Degrease: rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth, turning to a fresh face until it stays spotless. Run a fingertip along each post for dents, and lay out painter's tape, a pencil and a towel.
First, pick a still, dry day out of the sun and compare the six with this set's gallery, reporting any damage at once. Second, dry-fit each with the liner on, ease it until the margin is even, then mask round it and number the mask. Third, fit them one after another: peel, place in the mask, press firmly end to end and along both edges. Fourth, lift the masking and step back to check every border.
If any of the six won't settle on your CTS's post, stop with the liner in place and ring 877-752-3811 rather than pressing harder. After the cure time, the Cadillac's covers wash with car soap and water and dry 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.
