Product Description
6-Piece Polished Pillar Post Trim for the 2017-2019 Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback (PP57801)
PP57801 has two more pieces than the starter kit and gives the Chevrolet Cruze hatchback a little more polished steel along its side windows. It is a six-piece set of 304 stainless pillar covers for the 4-door Cruze hatchback, listed for 2017, 2018, and 2019.
Six pieces, no extras
QAA builds seven pillar kits for this hatchback. The six-piece kit shares something with the four-piece PP57800: neither has a coverage note in the catalog. The notes start at eight pieces, where PP57802 includes two rear pillar pieces, and they build from there through the rear triangle, front pieces, and finally the front triangles on the sixteen-piece PP57806. So this kit covers the core pillar area without those extras. The catalog does not say exactly which pillars the six pieces cover, and the product photos are the best way to see them.
Who picks six?
Owners who want a noticeable accent but not a full frame. Six pieces give the side glass more definition than four, and the install remains a short session. If you later decide you want the rear pillars or triangles done too, those come in the larger kits, which are complete sets, so it pays to decide on coverage first.
Material and build
All six pieces are made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel and polished to a mirror shine. Solid stainless has no plating to chip, and every piece matches.
Installation
The six Cruze hatchback covers go directly over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, that tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the Chevrolet.
Prep matters more than anything else. Wash the pillars, dry them thoroughly, and wipe off wax or sealant. Lay out the six Cruze pieces in photo order and dry-fit each one before peeling the liner. Press firmly along the full length. Press each one only after its reveal matches the listing photo. The Installation tab covers each step.
Choose a mild day and a shaded spot for the job. Adhesive tape likes a panel that is neither hot from direct sun nor cold from overnight air, and a comfortable temperature gives the bond the best start. Plan on a relaxed afternoon rather than a rushed one, and step back after each piece to check the line.
Fitment
Listed for the Chevrolet Cruze 4-door hatchback, 2017 through 2019. The sedan is not listed for this kit. The Fitment tab shows the exact application.
Matching pieces
For the same hatchback, QAA catalogs a four-piece body side molding accent set, a rear deck accent, a gas door cover, and four-piece wheel well trim. Pairing a pillar kit with the side molding accents gives the car a coordinated look along its whole length.

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.
