Product Description
Lincoln MKX and Nautilus 10-Piece Pillar Trim, Includes Front Pillar Behind the Mirror (PP56663)
PP56663 is the most complete pillar kit QAA catalogs for the Lincoln MKX and Lincoln Nautilus, and it has a feature the smaller kits do not: QAA notes that it includes the front pillar behind the mirror. Ten pieces of polished stainless steel carry the bright finish from the front of the side glass all the way back. It fits the 4-door MKX SUV from 2016 to 2018 and the 4-door Nautilus SUV from 2019.
The front pillar behind the mirror
Just behind each side mirror sits a short section of pillar at the front corner of the door glass. This kit includes it, so the steel frame starts right at the mirror and runs back along the window line. That is the main reason to step up to ten pieces from the eight-piece PP56662.
The other three kits
For comparison, QAA lists PP56660 with four pieces, PP56661 with six, and PP56662 with eight. None of those carry a note about the front pillar behind the mirror. The photos on each listing show how much of the window frame each one covers, so it is worth comparing all four before choosing.
Nautilus years
The catalog lists the Nautilus twice: once as 2019-2020 and once as 2019-2023. We show both entries in the Fitment tab as recorded. If you own a 2021, 2022, or 2023 Nautilus, please call before ordering so we can confirm the fit together.
What pillar trim is
For first-time buyers: pillars are the upright body sections that hold up the roof and frame the side windows. Pillar trim is a thin cosmetic cover that goes over them. It does not replace any factory part. Polished steel there gives the glass a bright, defined outline that suits a Lincoln SUV.
Material
QAA makes all ten pieces in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror shine. The brightness belongs to the steel itself, not a plated coating, and every piece matches.
Installation
Each piece uses 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and installs directly over the existing surface, with no trim removal. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle's surface. The front pillar pieces sit close to the mirrors, so give yourself room to work and clean those areas carefully. Sort the ten pieces by position, test-fit them all, and press each MKX cover only when its reveal looks right. The Installation tab lists every step.
Matching parts
For the same MKX and Nautilus, QAA lists a gas door cover (GC56660), a rear bumper trim accent (RB56660, 2.75 inches by 42 inches), a rear deck accent (RD56660, 0.625 inches by 46.3 inches), and a 4-piece lower rocker panel kit (TH56660) with a 3.75-inch span up from the bottom of the door.

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.
