Product Description
6-Piece Stainless Pillar Trim for the 2018-2023 Chevrolet Traverse (PP58166)
PP58166 is the larger of QAA's two pillar post kits for the Chevrolet Traverse. Six pieces of polished 304 stainless steel cover the window pillars of the 4-door Traverse SUV, model years 2018 through 2023, with two more pieces than the four-piece PP58165.
Why six suits the Traverse
The Traverse is a long vehicle with three rows of seating and a lot of side glass. On a vehicle that size, a small kit can look like a few scattered highlights. Six pieces creates a more continuous outline, which many owners prefer on a big SUV where the side profile is such a large part of the vehicle's presence.
What the catalog tells us
QAA lists the piece count for both Traverse kits but gives no coverage note for either. That means the data does not say which pillars the two further pieces cover. The listing photos are the way to compare the two, and a phone call can answer anything they do not.
Since both Traverse kits are complete sets, there is no reason to buy the four-piece kit first and upgrade later. If the fuller frame is what you want, this six-piece kit gets you there in one order and one install session.
Material and build
QAA makes all six pieces in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel and polishes them to a mirror shine. Solid stainless means the finish goes all the way through and every piece matches.
How to install
The six Traverse covers go directly over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, and the factory parts stay on. Per QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the Chevrolet.
Lay the six Traverse pieces out in photo order before starting. Wash and dry the pillars, then wipe them to remove wax. Dry-fit each piece, peel the liner, and press it on firmly. Fit each Traverse cover in turn, using the first one as your guide for the reveal. The Installation tab spells out each stage.
Conditions matter
Tape trim bonds best on a clean panel at a comfortable temperature. Pick a mild day and a shaded spot or a garage. Avoid installing on a surface that is hot from the sun or cold from the night.
Six pieces on a vehicle this size also call for a little more care with placement. Before pressing each Traverse piece, look at it from the same viewing angle as the covers already fitted. Matching reveals are what make a full set look factory-fitted.
Fitment
Listed for the Chevrolet Traverse 4-door SUV, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. The Fitment tab shows the application exactly as QAA records it.

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.
