Product Description
Ten-Piece Stainless Pillar Post Set, Nissan Leaf 4-Door Hatchback 2011-2017 (PP11582)
PP11582 is the largest of the three Leaf pillar sets in the QAA catalog. Ten pieces of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, for the Nissan Leaf 4-door hatchback, model years 2011 to 2017. Its smaller siblings are PP11580 (four pieces) and PP11581 (six pieces); there's no eight-piece option for this car.
The gap from six to ten is the notable thing here. The ten-piece set has four more pieces than the middle set, but the catalog doesn't say what those pieces are or which pillars they go on. No notes are listed on any of the three. If you want as much of the Leaf's pillar area in stainless as QAA offers, start with this set's photos and check them against your car. If the photos show pieces you don't want, look at one of the smaller sets.
Step one: confirm the car
Nissan Leaf, 4-door hatchback, model year 2011 through 2017. Check the Leaf is a 2011 to 2017. The title and the fitment row agree, so this check is quick. If your vehicle differs in any way, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP11582 before ordering.
Step two: know how it mounts
3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, installed directly over the existing surface. No drilling, no removing trim. Leaf prep is set out on the Installation tab.
Step three: clean properly
Wash the pillars with soapy water, rinse, and dry them. Wipe with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth and allow it to evaporate. Remove wax, sealant or any coating from the areas the tape will touch.
Step four: sort and dry-fit
Ten pieces is a lot to keep straight. Lay them on a clean towel in the order the photos show. Hold each to its pillar with the liner on. If the outline doesn't follow the pillar, try a different one. When it's right, mark both ends with painter's tape and write the location on the liner.
Step five: press and compare
Peel one liner, set the piece between its marks, and press firmly along the whole length, then along both edges. Do five completely, then the rest, and compare from a few steps back. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and the cure time to wait before washing.
Upkeep
Wash with mild soap and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid scouring pads and steel wool.

If something doesn't line up
Don't peel a piece you're unsure about. Check it against the photos and the other pillars first. If it still won't sit right, take a picture of it held in place and call us; it's far easier to sort out before the tape is down. A helper standing back a few steps is also useful for judging whether a long piece sits straight. The Leaf pillar posts are pictured on this page.

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.
