Product Description
PP27079 Ten-Piece Pillar Post Trim, 2007-2012 Mercedes GL Class
PP27079 is the ten-cover listing in the GL Class pillar family, and the one with the most pieces to place. It fits the 2007-2012 Mercedes GL Class, tagged 4-door, SUV, at $117.49. The steel is 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA.
Three linked siblings sit alongside it: PP27076 with four covers, PP27077 with six, PP27078 with eight. All share the years and tags; none, including this one, names pillars or widths. To understand the gap between them, open every gallery and study the outlines. If your aim is bright steel on everything this set's photos show, ten is the answer. If another gallery matches your plan, order that listing instead; it's one GL page per order.
Your records check first: the year must fall within 2007-2012. With ten pieces and three alternatives, a short call can save second-guessing. Quality Automotive Trims answers on 877-752-3811; quote PP27079.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Does it change anything mechanical? | No. It's a cosmetic skin for the posts between the side windows. |
| Will it corrode? | Grade 304 resists corrosion without plating. |
| How is it cleaned? | Car soap and water. |
| How is it fixed? | 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface. |
| Drilling or trim removal? | Neither. |
| Cure time? | See the Installation tab, along with the temperature range. |
Ten posts means ten finishes for the tape to cling to, and each one sets its own limit. Go round the vehicle running a fingertip along every post. Chalky dust, crazing, a lifted corner or a waxy film should be dealt with before you begin. Then wash, rinse, dry, and wipe with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths until one comes away white. If the upper edges are hard to see from the ground, keep a step stool beside you.
Bring a bucket, car soap, rubbing alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil. With ten covers a helper is close to essential, to call alignment and keep the pieces in sequence.
Choose a still, mild, dry day and work in the shade. Count all ten against the photos and phone about anything bent or short. Set all ten out on a clean towel in fitting order. Liner attached, hold each cover to its post, adjust until the reveal is even, outline it in painter's tape and label the outline. Complete every outline before peeling any liner. Then two at a time: peel, place inside the outline, and press firmly along the length and both edges. Stand back after every second cover.
With ten pieces, check each as it goes on. A cover that won't press flat stays on its liner until you've called 877-752-3811. After the cure time, wash the GL with car soap as usual and dry all ten with a soft towel.
Set aside a long, easygoing session; outlining ten positions takes most of it, and the covers press on quickly once that's done. Before ordering, open the gallery beside your GL and find a post for each of the ten shapes; ring first if any leaves you unsure.

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.
