Product Description
PP26073: Ten Polished Pillar Covers for the 2006-2012 Mercedes R Class
Ten covers is the highest count among the four linked R Class pillar sets, and PP26073 is that set. It fits the 2006-2012 Mercedes R Class, tagged 4-door, SUV, and sells for $117.49. Every cover is polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA.
The linked alternatives are PP26070, PP26071 and PP26072, with four, six and eight covers. None of the listings, this one included, says which pillars its pieces fit or how wide they are. So the real comparison happens in the photo galleries. Bring all four up, follow each outline, and decide which set puts polished steel exactly where you want it. If that's everything shown in this set's photos, ten is the one. If another gallery matches your plan better, that listing costs less. Order one listing only.
Read your model year off your records; the listing covers 2006-2012. Questions about fit or count go to Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811, quoting PP26073.
The covers change only how the car looks. Each is a bright stainless face for a post between the side windows, and the doors, glass and seals are left exactly as they are. Grade 304 resists corrosion on its own, with no plating to chip and no other metal beneath a scratch. Mild soap and water are the only care it needs.
All ten covers are fixed with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, pressed directly over the existing surface. The R Class keeps its trim, and nothing is drilled. Temperature range and cure time are on the Installation tab.
Ten pieces means ten patches of finish on your 2006-2012 R Class for the tape to grip. Go round the SUV slowly. Any post with a powdery bloom, crazing, a corner lifting or a film of wax needs attention before its cover goes on. Wash, dry, and wipe each with rubbing alcohol until a fresh cloth shows nothing. A step stool helps if the upper edges are hard to see from the ground.
Lay out soap, a bucket, alcohol, a good stack of cloths, painter's tape and a pencil. With ten covers, a helper mainly keeps the pieces in order and passes each one over as its outline is ready.
Pick a calm, dry day and shade. Unpack all ten onto a towel, match each to the gallery, and call about anything bent or missing. Arrange all ten in fitting order. Mark every position first: backing on, cover squared against its post, painter's tape traced round it, number pencilled on the tape. Only when all ten are marked should a backing come off. Then fit two at a time, pressing each cover firmly from end to end and down both edges.
A cover that won't sit flat keeps its backing while you phone 877-752-3811. Keep the R Class dry until the cure time passes. Before buying, stand by it with this gallery and find a post for each of the ten shapes.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 10 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.
