Product Description
2016-2019 Chevrolet Volt Pillar Post Trim, 8-Piece Stainless Set (PP56132)
PP56132 is the eight-piece pillar trim kit QAA makes for the 2016-2019 Chevrolet Volt, and it has the highest piece count of the three Volt kits in the catalog. If you have decided the Volt's window frame should be polished steel and you want as much of it covered as QAA offers, this set is where to look.
Eight pieces versus four or six
QAA also makes PP56130 with four pieces and PP56131 with six. The difference between them is how much of the pillar area each one dresses. The catalog does not list the exact location of each piece. Instead, study the photos on all three listings. You will see how the coverage grows as the piece count goes up, and that makes the decision easy.
The Volt's profile
The Volt is a 4-door hatchback whose roof slopes smoothly back toward the rear hatch. The pillars, the vertical body sections between and around the side windows, trace that slope. Covering them in polished steel gives the profile a bright outline and draws attention to the car's shape. With eight pieces, the outline is at its most complete.
Built from 304 stainless
QAA manufactures all eight pieces in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel. Each is polished to a mirror shine. Because there is no plating involved, the finish belongs to the steel, and every piece matches every other.
Install notes
The Volt's eight covers attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly onto the pillars as they are now. No trim comes off the car. QAA says the tape keeps its grip for a lifetime and leaves the surface underneath undamaged.
With eight pieces, an organized workspace makes a real difference. Lay the pieces out on a clean towel in the order you will install them, and match each one to its location before peeling anything. Clean every pillar with a mild wash and let it dry fully. Settle each of the eight Volt pieces against the photos before peeling, so the window outlines come out even. The Installation tab gives the full sequence.
Fitment
This kit is listed for the Chevrolet Volt 4-door hatchback, model years 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019. QAA does not list other body styles or years for it. Confirm your car against the Fitment tab, which shows the application exactly as cataloged.
Reference
Part number PP56132 has UPC 691821315376. You will find both, along with the material and piece count, on the Specs tab. The FAQ tab has short answers to common questions. If you want to talk through coverage or confirm your Volt before ordering, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811. We are glad to help you choose between the three kits.
Owners sometimes ask whether eight pieces is overkill. It depends on the look you are after. The smaller kits leave some pillar surfaces in their original finish, which some people prefer. The eight-piece kit is for the owner who wants the full window frame in steel, with nothing left in black. Comparing the photos is the best way to decide which camp you are in, and we are happy to describe the difference over the phone.

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.
