Product Description
Chevrolet Caprice 1991-1997 Sedan Pillar Post Trim, Eight Covers with Rear Post & Front Triangle (PP33175)
PP33175 is the eight-cover Caprice pillar set, for the 1991-1997 Chevrolet Caprice sedan, at $95.49. Its note reads "Includes rear/rear post and front/front triangle." The covers are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA.
The fitment row is tagged 4-door, Sedan, does not fit Wagon. That last tag is clear: if your Caprice is the wagon, this set isn't listed for it. For a four-door sedan from those seven model years, it is, and the row doesn't divide those years up, so the same set is listed whichever year your car is.
Among the linked Caprice pillar sets, this is the one whose note mentions the front triangle. PP33176, with six covers, is noted "Includes rear pillar trim" and doesn't mention a triangle. PP30175, with four covers, has no note. So if you want both the rear posts and the front triangles dressed in polished steel, this is the listing that says it covers them. The note doesn't describe every one of the eight, and no widths are given, so use the gallery to see each shape and match it to your car.

The covers are cosmetic. Each sits over a post or triangle area next to the glass; the Chevrolet's doors, windows and seals work exactly as before. The 304 alloy resists corrosion through its chemistry rather than plating.
Rear posts, front triangles and the rest alike are held by 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, gripping the paint or trim the Caprice already wears. Nothing is drilled and no trim is taken off the car. Look up the temperature range and cure time on the Installation tab first.
With eight pieces there are eight surfaces to prepare, the triangle areas and rear posts among them. Look for powdery bloom, fine crazing, an edge coming away, or old wax or polish, and sort it first. Wash with car soap, rinse, dry fully, and wipe every spot with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths until a clean cloth stays clean.
Gather car soap, a bucket, alcohol, a stack of cloths, painter's tape and a pencil. A helper who can step back and compare sides will save you walking around the Caprice.
Choose a calm, dry day in shade. Lay the eight beside the gallery and ring us about anything bent or missing. Sort them by type: triangles, front posts, rear posts. Liner on, offer each to its place, ease it until the margin is even, and frame it with painter's tape. Peel the liner, set the piece in the frame, and press firmly along its length and every edge. The next Caprice cover goes on after it.
If a triangle or post cover won't settle flush, stop with the liner still on and phone 877-752-3811. When the tape has had its cure time, the eight are washed like the Chevrolet's paint, with car soap and a soft towel to dry.

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.
