Product Description
Lincoln MKC 10-Piece Polished Stainless Pillar Post Package, 2015-2019 (PP55642)
When an MKC owner wants every bit of the window framing finished in steel, this is the kit QAA points to. PP55642 is the largest pillar set QAA catalogs for the 2015-2019 Lincoln MKC, with ten individually cut pieces. It fits the 4-door SUV body across all five of those model years.
Why ten pieces
The MKC's side glass is surrounded by several separate pillar sections, and a smaller kit leaves some of them in their original black. QAA offers the same vehicle a 4-piece kit (PP55640) and a 6-piece kit (PP55641). Stepping up to ten pieces extends the polished finish across more of those surfaces. The catalog does not itemize which section each piece covers, so look at the product photos to see the full layout. If maximum coverage is your goal, this is the set to choose.
A quick explanation for first-time buyers: pillar posts are the vertical body sections that hold up the roof between the windows. Covering them gives the glasshouse a sharp, framed look.
Stainless steel, polished bright
QAA manufactures these pieces in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel. Each one is polished to a mirror shine. Because the material is solid stainless rather than chrome plating over plastic, there is no coating that can flake away from the base. The finish matches well with the bright accents Lincoln already fits to the MKC.
Ten pieces, one method
More pieces does not mean a harder kind of installation. Each one mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and installs directly over the existing pillar surface. No trim removal. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle's surface. The bulk of the time goes into laying all ten pieces out, matching each to its spot, and pressing them on one at a time. The Installation tab has a suggested sequence that keeps that process organized.
Other QAA parts for this MKC
If you are building a full look, QAA also catalogs an upper rocker panel kit (TH55640), a body molding insert kit (MI55640), a body side molding accent (AT55640), a rear deck accent (RD55640), a gas door cover (GC55640), a brake light surround (BL55640), and a license plate bezel (LP55640) for the same SUV.
Before you check out
Make sure your vehicle is a 4-door Lincoln MKC from 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, or 2019. The Fitment tab shows the application as cataloged. The Specs tab lists UPC 691821559312 along with the material and the ten-piece count. To talk through coverage or fitment, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811.
A note on planning. Because this set has ten separate pieces, lay them out on a clean towel before you start and match each one to its location on the vehicle. Nothing gets peeled until every piece has a home. That one habit prevents most alignment mistakes, and it makes the larger kit no more stressful to install than the smaller ones. The polished faces show fingerprints, so a soft cloth wipe at the end finishes the job.

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.
FAQ: PP55642 Pillar Post Trim
Is PP55642 the most complete pillar kit for the MKC?
Yes. QAA catalogs three MKC pillar kits, and at 10 pieces this one has the most coverage. The others are the 4-piece PP55640 and the 6-piece PP55641.
Does a 10-piece kit take much longer to install?
It takes longer than a smaller kit because there are more pieces to align. The method is the same: clean the surface, test-fit, and press each piece on with its 3M tape.
Do I have to remove any trim before fitting it?
No. It installs directly over the existing surface. QAA states the 3M tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the vehicle.
