Product Description
Buick Park Avenue 1991-1996 Pillar Post Trim, Eight Polished Covers (PP31582)
PP31582 is the largest of the linked Park Avenue pillar sets: eight polished stainless covers for the 1991-1996 Buick Park Avenue, priced at $89.99. The fitment row is tagged 4-door, Sedan. Every cover is 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA.
Two smaller pillar sets share its fitment exactly. PP31580 has four covers and PP31581 has six. The listings have no notes, and none of them names a post or gives a width, so the three galleries are how you tell them apart. With eight shapes here, take a little time over the photos: number them, then match each to a post on your Park Avenue, starting at the front and working back. If all eight find a place you'd like polished, this is the set to order. If some don't, one of the smaller sets may suit you better.
The fourth linked listing, GC31580, is a one-piece gas door cover. It's a different part sold on its own, not one of these eight.
Questions about any of the three galleries can go to Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811. Have PP31582 and your year to hand.
Nothing here is structural. Each cover lies over a post along the side windows, and the Buick's doors, glass and seals keep working as before. The 304 alloy resists corrosion by its makeup rather than by any plating.
The eight attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, which bonds to the paint or trim the sedan's posts have now. There are no holes to drill and no trim to remove. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and the cure time, and with eight covers the day runs longer, so plan for it.
Each of the eight spots needs a sound surface for the tape. Go over every post looking for powdery bloom, fine cracking, a lifting edge, or a film of old wax or polish, and fix or strip what you find. Wash with car soap, rinse, dry completely, then wipe with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths until a fresh cloth stays clean. Do the whole side of the car before starting to fit.
Gather car soap, a bucket, alcohol, more cloths than you think you'll need, painter's tape and a pencil. A helper who can step back and compare left with right saves a lot of walking.
Choose a dry, still day in shade. Lay out all eight next to the gallery and call us if any is bent or missing. Lay all eight out against the photos. For each cover, keep the liner on, hold it to its post, adjust until the margin is even, and outline it with painter's tape. Peel the liner, set the cover within the tape lines, and press firmly along its length and both edges. Fit the next cover before going on.
If any of the eight won't sit flush, keep its liner on and phone 877-752-3811. After the cure, wash the covers with car soap and dry them with a soft towel.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 8 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.
