Product Description
GMC Envoy, Chevrolet Trailblazer & Isuzu Ascender Eight-Cover Pillar Post Trim (PP42295)
PP42295 is the largest of the pillar sets for this group of SUVs: eight covers in polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA, for $100.99. The title leads with the 2002-2009 GMC Envoy and goes on to the Chevrolet Trailblazer and the 2003-2008 Isuzu Ascender, the same three rows the record lists. All three rows are tagged 4-door, SUV, Does not fit XL.
Start with that XL tag. If your SUV's paperwork names an XL version, this set isn't listed for it. Then check your year: the GMC and Chevrolet rows run 2002-2009, while the Isuzu row runs 2003-2008. If either check leaves a doubt, call Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 with PP42295 and your details before ordering.
The linked six-cover set, PP42294, lists the same three SUVs with the same exclusion. Neither listing gives notes, post names or widths, so compare the galleries. Number the eight shapes here and find each one's post on your Envoy, Trailblazer or Ascender, then look at the six-cover photos the same way. The set whose shapes match the posts you'd like covered is the one to buy.
All eight are appearance trim. They sit over posts around the side windows, and the doors, glass and seals carry on unchanged. Corrosion resistance is a property of the 304 alloy rather than a plated finish.
Each cover mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape onto the posts' current paint or trim. There's no drilling and nothing is removed. Before starting, read the temperature range and cure time on the Installation tab.
Eight posts take a bit of time to prepare properly. Strip off wax and polish, and put right any chalking, crazing or flaking paint, since that surface is what the tape bonds to. Wash with car soap, rinse, allow to dry completely, and wipe each post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths until a clean fold stays clean. Note any dents along the way; a dip under a polished cover tends to show.
Have ready car soap with a bucket of water, rubbing alcohol, a large stack of lint-free cloths, a roll of painter's tape and a pencil for numbering. Eight covers means eight alignments, and a second person watching from the side of the SUV makes each one faster to judge and easier to get straight.
Pick a dry, windless day and a shaded spot. Lay out all eight beside the gallery and let us know about anything bent or missing. Number each cover on a strip of painter's tape for the post its photo shows. With the liner on, place it, adjust until the border is even and tape the outline. Peel, set it in the outline and press firmly end to end and along both edges. Check it before moving to the next.
If any of the eight stands proud or rocks, don't press harder; keep its liner on and call 877-752-3811. After the cure, wash them with car soap and dry 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.
