I bought Palco pillar trim pieces a couple years ago and they did not match well. The flanges are wider then the window trim. Good luck and let us know if you find something that fits.

I get a answer from coppers234 who sells the AccuForms Pillar Post
He wrote this to me:
( BY THE WAY OUR TOLERANCES ARE CLOSER THAN THE ORIGINALS IT TOOK US 7 PILLARS TO FIND 2 ALIKE!!) IS THAT WE MAKE OUR PILLARS HIGH QUALITY & WE HAVE SOLD OVER 10,000 OF THEM OVER THE YEARS SO I GUESS THEY WORK PRETTY GOOD.

I don't know who should I trust when I order every one say that they sell the best one's

Anyone who has bought Palco Pillar Post how did they Fit?

I bought them from YO. I could have sent them back but needed to one side right away as the original imploded upon removal. Someday I may take the time to trim it and make it acceptable.

Will these sellers agree to take them back if you're not satisfied? Then you would only be out some shipping costs.

Just a little trivia, I believe these pieces always seem to be damaged because of the sun exposure making them brittle and then pushing a "sick" Challenger using the pillar posts. I know we have had to do that a few times. (One occations at a busy intersections in the middle of rush our traffic. :blushes:
