Product Description
6-Piece Stainless Pillar Trim for the 2020-2026 Cadillac CT5 Sedan (PP60236)
PP60236 is the middle kit among QAA's three Cadillac CT5 pillar post options. Six pieces of polished 304 stainless steel cover the pillars of the 4-door CT5 sedan, model years 2020 through 2026. For the CT5 sedan, it falls between the four-piece PP60235 and the eight-piece PP60237.
Between four and eight
The CT5 kits are PP60235 with four pieces, this six-piece kit, and PP60237 with eight, which QAA notes includes the rear triangle piece. This kit has no coverage note, so it does not include that triangle. The catalog does not specify which pillars its six pieces cover, so compare the product photos to see how it differs from the four-piece kit.
More frame, same simple install
Six pieces gives the CT5's side glass a fuller polished outline than the base kit, without the small triangle piece that makes the eight-piece install a little more detailed. On the CT5, a clear frame around the windows traces the shape of the glass.
Material
QAA makes all six covers in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel with a mirror polish. The brightness is the steel itself, so there is no plating to wear and every piece matches.
Install
The six CT5 pillar pieces go directly over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, and no trim is removed. QAA says that tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the Cadillac sedan.
Match the six CT5 pieces to the photos first. Clean, dry, and de-wax each pillar. Dry-fit before peeling, then press firmly along the full length. Fit one CT5 cover completely and copy its reveal on the remaining five. The Installation tab lists each step.
Working conditions
A mild, dry day in a garage or the shade gives the tape its best start. Avoid panels that are hot from the sun or cold from overnight.
On a luxury sedan
Cadillac owners tend to notice details, and polished pillars are a detail that changes the whole side view. Dark trim between the windows becomes a series of bright, framed openings, giving the CT5 a more tailored appearance without any permanent modification.
Why not just four?
The four-piece kit is a fine accent, but it has two fewer pieces than this one. Six pieces closes more of that gap while keeping the install short. If you want the rear triangle as well, the eight-piece kit is the step up.
Other CT5 trim
Other CT5 parts in the QAA catalog: rocker panel inserts, a hood trim accent, a rear deck accent, a gas door cover, a license plate bezel and cut-to-fit wheel well accents.
Fitment
The Fitment tab lists the CT5 4-door sedan, 2020 through 2026, for this six-piece set.

Each CT5 kit is a complete set, so decide on coverage before ordering. A soft cloth afterward clears fingerprints, and the trim washes with the rest of the car.

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.
