Product Description
2025-2026 Cadillac Optiq 6-Piece Pillar Trim in Mirror Stainless (PP65241)
For Optiq owners who want the stainless to stand out, PP65241 is the bigger of QAA's two pillar kits for this SUV. It contains six polished stainless steel covers and is listed for the 4-door Cadillac Optiq, model years 2025 and 2026. QAA lists two pillar kits for the 2025-2026 Optiq: the four-piece PP65240 and this six-piece set, which is the larger of the pair and the one to choose if you want more of the window line dressed.
Six versus four
QAA's other Optiq pillar kit is PP65240, a four-piece set with the same fitment. The two further covers here mean more of the window line is dressed in bright metal. The catalog does not say which specific posts the additional pieces cover; a call to QAA can settle any doubt. If you like a bold look, six is the natural choice. If you prefer a quieter accent, the four-piece kit is there.
Fitment
One vehicle is listed: the Cadillac Optiq, 4-door SUV, 2025 through 2026. The Fitment tab shows the record as QAA keeps it. If your vehicle is a different Cadillac, this kit is not cataloged for it.
The steel behind the shine
QAA makes these covers in the USA from 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge. After cutting, the steel is polished to a mirror finish. Because the brightness is in the metal rather than a coating, all six pieces keep the same look and there is no plating to chip.
How the covers attach
Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and mounts on top of the existing pillar surface. No panels to remove. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle surface.
Install day checklist
- Pick a dry day with mild temperatures and work in the shade.
- Wash and fully dry each pillar.
- Wipe away wax or polish residue.
- Hold each cover in place to confirm position.
- Peel the liner, press firmly end to end, and avoid washing for a few days.
The Installation tab has more detail on the six Optiq covers.
Who this kit suits
If you already like brightwork, or plan to fit other stainless accents later, the fuller set lets the pillars hold their own visually. To keep the Optiq understated, choose four. Either way, the Optiq is the only vehicle listed, so check the other kit's listing for its finish.
Copying the first reveal
With six pieces, it helps to fit one cover, step back, and copy its reveal on the rest. Compare the Optiq covers from the front and rear before pressing the last ones. That small habit keeps the finished job looking deliberate.
Care
Rinse off grit, wash with mild soap, and dry with a soft towel. Keep abrasive pads and harsh chemicals away from the mirror finish so it stays clear. A quick dry after every wash prevents spotting.

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.
