Product Description
Buick Encore 2013-2022 Eight-Piece Pillar Post Trim (PP53562)
Eight polished stainless pillar post covers for the Buick Encore come in PP53562, at $89.99. The covers are 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. The record's single fitment row reads Buick Encore 2013-2022, tagged 4-door, SUV.
Eight is the middle of the five Encore counts. Below it are PP53560 (four covers) and PP53561 (six); above it, PP53563 (ten) and PP53564 (twelve). All five share the same row. None carries a note, names its posts or lists widths, so the choice comes down to what you see in the galleries. Look at the eight-cover photos alongside the six and ten, then stand beside your own Encore and decide which coverage you want. If two look close, ring us and we'll compare them with you before you order.
The row covers 2013 through 2022; check the year, since an Encore outside that span isn't listed for this set and the record doesn't split the ten years further. No other Encore trim is linked to the record. Quality Automotive Trims takes calls on 877-752-3811; mention PP53562 and your year.
These eight are cosmetic covers, chosen for looks rather than function. They change the look of the posts and nothing about the doors, glass or weatherstrip. Corrosion resistance comes from the 304 alloy itself, not a plated surface.
All eight mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape set on the posts' existing paint or trim. You won't drill, and no trim comes off the Encore. Read the Installation tab for the temperature window and how long the tape should cure.
Eight posts make a longer clean, so start in good time and work through them one after another without rushing. Wash each with car-soap water, rinse and dry. Strip wax and polish, and put right any paint that's chalking, crazing or lifting, since the tape bonds to that coat. Degrease every post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloth, refolding until fresh cloth stays clean, and feel for dents. Have low-tack painter's tape, a pencil and a clean towel ready before you open the box of covers.
Fit in the shade on a dry, windless day, with the Encore parked where you can walk all round it. Check the eight against the gallery and tell us at once about any damage or anything missing from the set. Dry-fit each with its liner on, settle it until its border is even and mask round it, writing a number on each mask. Then work through them one by one: liner off, cover into its mask, firm pressure along the full length and both edges. Lift the masking when all eight are on, then step back and check each border from a few paces away, looking for an even margin all round.
If one cover rocks or won't sit down, keep its liner on, put it aside on the towel and ring 877-752-3811. After curing, car soap, water and a soft towel are all the set needs.

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.
