Product Description
Chevrolet Volt 2011-2015 Eight-Cover Pillar Post Trim (PP53132)
For the Chevrolet Volt hatchback, PP53132 is an eight-cover pillar post set at $84.49. The covers are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, and the record's only fitment row is Chevrolet Volt 2011-2015, tagged 4-door, Hatchback.
Eight is the middle of five counts the record offers for the Volt. Below it sit PP53130 (four covers) and PP53131 (six); above it, PP53133 (ten) and PP53134 (twelve). All five share the same row, and none has a note, a list of posts or a width. That means the choice comes down to the photos. Look through all five galleries, see how much of the Volt each covers, and then look at your own car to decide. If two counts look close, give us a ring and we'll compare them with you, gallery by gallery, before anything is ordered.
The row covers 2011 to 2015. Check your records before ordering, since a Volt from another year isn't listed. Nothing besides the pillar sets is linked to this record, so there's no other Volt trim to weigh up here. Quality Automotive Trims is on 877-752-3811; mention PP53132 and your year.
These eight are simply trim pieces for the Volt. They change the look of the posts and leave the doors, glass and weatherstrip working as they always have. The 304 stainless keeps corrosion away through its alloy rather than any coating.
The covers mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape laid directly over each post's present surface. Nothing is drilled and nothing on the Chevrolet needs to come apart. For the temperature range and how long the tape should cure, see the Installation tab before choosing a day for the job.
Eight posts take time to prepare, so start early in the day and work through them one at a time without hurrying. Lay out low-tack painter's tape, a pencil, rubbing alcohol, soapy water and plenty of lint-free cloth. Strip every trace of wax and polish. Mend paint that's chalking, crazing or lifting, because that coat is what the tape grips. Wash, rinse and dry each post, wipe it with rubbing alcohol until the cloth comes away spotless, and feel for any dents.
Fit in shade on a dry, windless day. Go through the eight against their photos and tell us about any damage or missing pieces before you start. Tape a number at each post so every cover has its place. Then, one cover at a time, keep the liner on, offer it up, shift it until the reveal is even and box it in with painter's tape. Take the liner off, set the cover within the box and press firmly across its face and down both edges. Look each over from a step back before going on.
If a cover rocks or won't sit down, leave its liner on and phone 877-752-3811 rather than forcing it. Once the tape has cured, the set needs only car soap, water and 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.
