Product Description
Two-Piece Polished Pillar Trim for 1996-2001 Audi A4 and A6, Sedan or Wagon (PP96624)
PP96624 is a compact kit with a wide reach. Its title names the Audi A4 and A6, and the fitment record lists four combinations from 1996 through 2001: the A4 sedan, the A4 wagon, the A6 sedan, and the A6 wagon. The kit itself is two mirror-polished 304 stainless steel pillar covers, made in the USA.
A6 owners, read this
An A6 owner and an A4 owner read the same rows here, in both sedan and wagon form, for the same years. Nothing in the record separates the four entries beyond model and body. The Fitment tab shows every entry.
Fitment summary

- Audi A6 wagon, 1996-2001
Just two pieces
Two covers is a small count compared with most pillar kits in the catalog, and QAA does not list a larger pillar kit for these cars on this record. There is also no coverage note, so the data does not state which pair of posts the two pieces are made for. The photos are your best reference; if they leave a question, call before you order.
Material
26-gauge 304 stainless steel with a mirror polish. The finish is polished into the metal instead of plated on, so it has no coating to flake.
Attachment
For the A4, both covers fasten with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape to the current surface, and you will not remove trim. QAA says the tape holds for a lifetime without harming the Audi.
Surface preparation
An Audi from the late nineties has had years of wax and polish, so clean the pillars well. Tape does not bond well to that residue. Wash the pillars, dry them, and wipe them with a wax-free cleaner. Check that the paint is firm and intact, and repair any lifting areas first.
A quick install
With only two covers, this is a short job. Wait for a dry, moderate day and stay out of direct sun. Hold the first cover in place with the liner on and confirm it lines up with the door frame and glass. Peel the liner and press firmly from one end to the other. Then fit the second A4 cover, using the first as your reference for height and angle. Skip washing for a few days so the bond can settle. The Installation tab has the full procedure.
Care
Hand wash with mild soap, rinse, and dry with a soft towel. Avoid abrasive pads and gritty polishes.
Why a small kit works
Two well-placed bright accents can lift the side view without making the car look busy, and the original pillars stay as they are underneath.
Sedan or wagon, same kit
The record does not separate the sedan and wagon bodies into different pillar kits; both are listed on this one. If you own either body style of an A4 or A6 from these years, this is the kit on file.

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.
