Product Description
Volkswagen Cabrio 1995-2002 Two-Piece Polished Pillar Trim (PP95645)
PP95645 is a two-piece set of mirror-polished stainless steel pillar covers for the Volkswagen Cabrio. QAA lists it for model years 1995 through 2002 and records the body as a 2-door hatchback. The covers are made in the USA from 304 stainless.
About the body style in the record
The fitment record describes the Cabrio as a "2-door, Hatchback". The Cabrio name usually brings a convertible to mind, so if the body description does not match your car, call before ordering and we will confirm the fit. The Fitment tab shows the record as QAA keeps it.
Years
1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002 Volkswagen Cabrio.
A two-piece, stand-alone kit
No other parts are linked to this kit, and the data has no coverage note, so it does not say which posts the two covers dress. The product photos show their shape.
Material
26-gauge 304 stainless steel with a mirror polish. The shine is the metal itself, so there is no plating to peel, and the pair matches.
How it attaches
On the Cabrio, the two covers are held by 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the current surface, with no trim taken off. Per QAA, the tape lasts a lifetime without damaging the Volkswagen.
Prep
Wash each pillar, dry it, and wipe it with a wax-free cleaner. On a car of this age, check for loose or chalky paint where the covers will sit and repair it first. The tape holds only as well as the surface under it.
Installing the pair
Choose a dry, mild day. Hold the first cover in place with the liner on and compare it with the photos. When it looks right, peel and press firmly along its length. Place the second the same way as the first, using the door edge and window corner as reference points. Wait a few days before washing. The Installation tab has full detail.
Checking the first Cabrio piece
The two Cabrio pieces get compared at a glance, so look at the first from the front and rear before starting the second.
Care
Wash the Cabrio pillars with mild soap, rinse, and dry with a soft towel; no abrasive pads.
Handling
Keep both covers on a towel until they go on, and avoid touching the exposed adhesive.
Why choose pillar covers
A polished cover gives the side glass a crisp, bright border and leaves the original pillar untouched beneath it. It is a cosmetic job that takes an afternoon, needs no special tools, and does not affect how the doors or windows work.
Before ordering
Confirm the model year on your title or registration, and compare your car with the body style in the record. If anything does not line up, a quick call is easier than reworking tape after the covers are on.
Temperature matters
Tape bonds best when the panels are neither hot from the sun nor cold from overnight. A shaded garage on a mild afternoon is ideal.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 2 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.
