Product Description
Six-Piece Stainless Pillar Trim for the 2025-2026 Cadillac Escalade IQ (PP65231)
PP65231 gives the electric Cadillac Escalade IQ a fuller set of polished stainless pillar covers: six pieces, listed for the 4-door Escalade IQ SUV in model years 2025 and 2026. Note the fitment carefully. This kit names the Escalade IQ only, not the IQL.
Check your badge first
QAA's record for this part lists one vehicle: the Cadillac Escalade IQ, 2025-2026. If your SUV is an Escalade IQL, this listing does not include it, and you should call before ordering so we can point you to what is cataloged for your vehicle. The Fitment tab shows the entry exactly as QAA keeps it.
What six pieces bring
A six-piece pillar set puts more polished steel along the side glass than a four-piece kit would. The catalog does not say which posts each cover dresses, so the photos on this page are the best guide to the coverage. What it does tell you is that every piece is made from the same steel and polished the same way, so the set looks uniform from front to back.
A companion for the sills
QAA links one related part to this kit: WS65230, a six-piece window sill trim set that covers the face of the sills only. Pillar covers frame the glass vertically, while sill trim runs along the bottom edge of the windows, so the two together outline the side windows more completely. Each is sold as its own complete set.
The material
The covers are made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel and polished to a mirror finish. Solid stainless has no plated surface to peel, which is why the shine you see is the steel itself.
Putting it on
On the Escalade IQ, all six covers fasten with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape to the current surface, and there is no trim to remove. QAA states the tape holds for a lifetime and leaves the Cadillac's surface unharmed.
Wash the pillars, dry them completely, and wipe off any wax. Test each piece in position before peeling the liner, then press firmly along its whole length. Mild, dry weather helps, and letting the tape settle for a few days before washing is a good habit. The Installation tab gives the complete procedure.
Keeping the shine
Rinse away grit first, then wash with mild soap and a soft towel. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh cleaners, and dry the covers to keep water spots off the polished faces.
A tip for six-piece kits
Fit the six Escalade IQ covers one at a time, then view them from a few steps back. With six covers, an uneven reveal is what people notice, and the dry-fit is the moment to get it right. If a piece does not sit naturally, check it before you press, rather than forcing it into place.

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.
