Product Description
Six Long-Version Stainless Pillar Post Covers for the 2014-2019 Cadillac CTS (PP54445)
PP54445 gives the Cadillac CTS six mirror-polished pillar post covers in 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, for $73.49. The listing has a single row, Cadillac CTS 2014-2019, tagged 4-door, Sedan, and a note that reads "LONG VERSION - please refer to the accompanying image".
We quote that note exactly and leave the explanation to the photo it points to. The gallery is the reference for the covers' shape, so compare it carefully with the posts on your Cadillac before you order.
The CTS has two six-cover pillar sets. PP54445 is the long one; PP54251 carries no note. At four covers the split repeats: PP54444 is marked long and PP54250 isn't. The records don't list lengths for any of them, so viewing PP54445 and PP54251 side by side is the most direct comparison. When the photos leave a question, call Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 with PP54445 and your CTS's model year, and tell us which gallery you've been studying.
Other CTS pieces linked to this record: 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).
Six model years sit on the row, 2014 through 2019. Check your records before ordering; a CTS outside that window isn't listed here.
The six covers are cosmetic. The Cadillac's doors open and its windows and seals work exactly as before. The 304 stainless resists corrosion through its own alloy, with no plating involved.
Each cover mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape laid on the posts' existing paint or trim. No holes are drilled, and nothing comes off the CTS. The Installation tab sets out temperatures and cure time; allow a relaxed stretch for six covers.
Three passes get the posts ready. Wash: car-soap water, rinse, full dry. Clear: lift off wax or polish, and fix paint that's flaking or chalky before going further, since the tape is only as secure as that coat. Degrease: rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloth, refolding until the cloth stays white. Then feel along each of the six posts for dents.
First, choose dry, windless weather and a shaded spot, and lay the six out on a clean towel next to the gallery, confirming they match the long-version photos and reporting any damage straight away. Second, dry-fit each with the liner still on, centre it, mask round it with low-tack painter's tape and number the mask. Third, fit them in turn: liner off, into the mask, firm pressure end to end and along both edges. Fourth, pull the masking and check each border from a pace back.
Should one of the six refuse to settle on your CTS, keep its liner on and ring 877-752-3811 rather than forcing it. Once cured, the Cadillac's covers want nothing more than car soap, water and 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.
