Product Description
Cruze Hatchback Pillar Trim With Two Rear Pillar Pieces, 8-Piece, 2017-2019 (PP57802)
PP57802 is the first Chevrolet Cruze hatchback pillar kit in QAA's lineup that reaches back to the rear pillars. Its eight pieces of polished stainless steel include two rear pillar pieces, according to QAA's catalog. It fits the 4-door Cruze hatchback in model years 2017, 2018, and 2019.
Why the rear pillars matter on a hatchback
On a hatchback, the rear pillars sit behind the back doors and wrap toward the tailgate. They are a big, visible part of the car's profile. Kits without them brighten the area between the doors, but the back of the car stays dark. Two rear pillar pieces carry the polished line farther back and make the side view feel more complete.
How it compares to the other six kits
Below this kit are the four-piece PP57800 and the six-piece PP57801, neither of which has a coverage note. Above it, PP57803 (ten pieces) includes the rear triangle, PP57804 (twelve) one front piece, PP57805 (fourteen) two front pieces, and PP57806 (sixteen) the front and rear triangle pieces. Eight pieces is a sensible middle point: rear pillars included, triangles and front pieces left out.
Material
All eight covers are made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel and polished to a mirror finish. The metal is solid stainless, so the shine is not a coating.
Installation
The eight Cruze hatchback pieces, two rear pillars included, go directly over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, and factory parts stay on. QAA states it will hold for a lifetime without harming the Chevrolet.
The rear pillar pieces are larger than the door pillar pieces, so take care positioning them. Clean each surface, wipe off wax, and dry-fit before peeling. Line up the edges, press lightly to check, then press firmly along the full length. Install the eight covers one post at a time, checking every Cruze reveal. The Installation tab lists every step.
Because the rear pieces are the most visible part of this kit, it is worth checking them from a few steps back before pressing them down. Walk around the Cruze afterward and make sure the reveals at the window edges look consistent. Small adjustments are easy before full pressure is applied and the bond sets.
Fitment
Listed for the Chevrolet Cruze 4-door hatchback, 2017 through 2019, as shown on the Fitment tab. The Cruze sedan is not listed.
Coordinating trim
QAA also catalogs a rear deck accent, a gas door cover, body side molding accents, and wheel well trim for this hatchback. Rear pillar trim and a rear deck accent work well together because both brighten the back of the car.

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.
