Product Description
Escalade ESV, Suburban & Yukon XL 2015-2020 Eight-Piece Stainless Pillar Post Covers (PP55198)
PP55198 is an eight-cover pillar post set for three Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC SUVs, in mirror-polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, at $117.49. The title carries the same three names as the fitment rows, which are Cadillac Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon XL, all 2015-2020. Each row is tagged 4-door, ESV, SUV and XL. There's no note.
The rows name the ESV and the XL specifically, together with the Suburban, so a standard-length Escalade or Yukon isn't listed for this set. If you're unsure which version you have, check your records; if that doesn't settle it, phone us before ordering.
The one other pillar set linked here is PP55199, with ten covers on the same three rows. Its note reads "Includes the vertical strip for the rear most pillar section"; PP55198 has no such note. The records don't map the covers to posts, so compare the two galleries with your own SUV to see what each set dresses.
Six model years appear on every row, 2015 through 2020. Check the year before ordering; a vehicle outside that span isn't listed, and the record treats all six years the same across the three models. Quality Automotive Trims answers on 877-752-3811; quote PP55198 with your make, model and year.
The eight covers are cosmetic, chosen for the look of the posts. The vehicle's doors, windows and seals carry on exactly as they did before, and the 304 stainless resists corrosion through its own alloy rather than plating.
Each cover mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape pressed onto the posts' existing paint or trim. There's no drill involved, and nothing is removed from the SUV. Read the Installation tab for the temperature window and cure time before you set aside the day, and allow time to work through all eight without rushing any of them.
Three passes prepare the posts. Wash: car-soap water, rinse, full dry. Clear: remove wax or polish, and fix paint that's flaking or chalky first, since the tape holds only as well as that layer. Degrease: rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloth, refolding until it stays white. Then feel along each of the eight posts for dents.
First, choose a still, dry day in the shade and lay the eight on a clean towel beside the gallery, reporting any damage straight away. Second, dry-fit each with the liner still on, centre it, mask round it with low-tack painter's tape and number the mask. Third, fit them in turn: liner off, into the mask, firm pressure end to end and along both edges. Fourth, lift the masking and walk the length of the SUV, checking each border for an even margin.
If any of the eight won't sit flat on your Escalade ESV, Suburban or Yukon XL, leave its liner on and call 877-752-3811 rather than pressing harder. After curing, the covers need nothing more than 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.
