Product Description
Eight-Cover Pillar Post Trim, Saturn Vue 2003-2007 (PP43443)
PP43443 is an eight-cover set of polished stainless pillar post trim for the Saturn Vue of 2003-2007. It's made in the USA from 26 gauge 304 stainless and sells for $117.49. The fitment record carries one row: Saturn Vue 2003-2007, tagged 4-door, SUV.
Confirm the Vue. your records should show a model year from 2003 to 2007 and the four-door SUV body. Those are the only details the row gives, so they're the ones to match. If yours reads differently, ring us before you order.
Four pillar sets for one Vue. Besides these eight, the linked pillar listings are PP43440 with four covers, PP43441 with six and PP43442 with ten. None has notes, post names or widths, so the only way to tell them apart is by their galleries. Number the eight shapes in this one, then walk around the Saturn and find each one's post. Do the same with the other galleries, and order whichever set covers the posts you'd like in polished steel.
Other Vue trims. Sold separately and linked here: GC43440, LP43440, RD43440, SGR43440, ST43440, TH43441, TH43442 and WQ43440.
Getting help. Quality Automotive Trims picks up on 877-752-3811. With PP43443 and your year, we can compare the eight-cover gallery against the others with you.
Their role. The covers are trim for the posts alongside the side glass. Doors, windows and weatherseals carry on unchanged. Corrosion resistance is part of the 304 alloy, so there's no plating involved.
Attachment. 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape bonds each of the eight to the post's existing paint or trim. You won't drill anything or remove trim from the Vue. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and cure time.
Getting eight posts ready. The tape bonds to the outer surface, so make that surface clean and solid. Remove wax and polish; repair chalky, crazed or lifting paint. Wash with car soap, rinse, let it all dry, and wipe each post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths until a fresh fold shows no trace. Check every post for dents as you go, since a dip that paint hides can show clearly under a polished cover.
Supplies. Car soap and a bucket, rubbing alcohol, a big pile of lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil for numbering. With eight to align, ask someone to stand back and call out what they see.
Fitting. Shade, dry air, no wind. Lay out the eight beside the gallery and tell us about anything bent or missing. Number each on painter's tape for the post its photo shows. Liner on, hold a cover in place, adjust until the gap is even and tape the outline. Peel, set it within the outline and press firmly along the full length and both edges. Compare with its photo, then fit the next.
One won't lie flat? Leave its liner on and phone 877-752-3811 before pressing any harder. After the cure, wash all eight with car soap and water 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.
