Product Description
Cadillac XTS 2013-2019 S&S Superior Hearse Eight-Piece Pillar Post Trim (PP53242)
PP53242 is the eight-cover set among the three XTS pillar sets tagged "S&S Superior Hearse." It costs $172.49, and the covers are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. The fitment row reads Cadillac XTS 2013-2019, with that tag only and no sedan tag.
The two smaller sets with the same tag are PP53240 (four covers) and PP53241 (six). The record doesn't name posts or give widths for any of them, so it can't tell you on paper what the further covers in this set reach. That's what the gallery photos are for. Look at all three, and at your own coach, before you commit to eight. Pair each pictured cover with a post you can see on the hearse; if a photo leaves you unsure where a piece belongs, ring us and we'll go through it with you.
A few other XTS sets have similar-sounding tags. PP53220 is "S&S Superior Limousine," a separate listing. The plain sedan sets are PP53245, PP53246 and PP53247, tagged 4-door, Sedan, and Accubuilt, Federal and Eagle coaches each have their own linked sets. Since every title reads "Fits 2013-2019 Cadillac XTS," it's the tag that tells you which page applies.
For help, call Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 and quote PP53242, the year and the coach description from your documents. We'll go through the record and the photos with you.
All eight are purely cosmetic covers for the coach. They dress the posts and leave the doors, side glass and seals working as before. The 304 stainless keeps corrosion away by its own chemistry.
Every cover mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape laid straight onto the post's present surface. Nothing is drilled, and no trim is taken off the hearse. The temperatures and cure time are on the Installation tab.
Eight posts take a while, so begin early and work through them one at a time. Wash each in soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Clean off wax and polish, and repair paint that's chalking, crazing or lifting before going any further. Degrease every post with rubbing alcohol on fresh lint-free cloth until it shows nothing, and check by touch for dents. Have painter's tape, a pencil and a clean towel ready.
Work in shade on a dry, windless day. Compare the eight with their photos and tell us about any damage before starting. Dry-fit each one with its liner on, settle it until its border is even and mask round it, numbering every mask. Then, cover by cover, peel the liner, set it in its mask and smooth it down firmly from end to end and along both edges. Remove the masking when all eight are on, and look them over from a few steps away.
If any cover lifts or won't sit down, leave its liner in place and phone 877-752-3811. After the cure, wash with car soap and water 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.
