Product Description
PP23080: Two Stainless Pillar Covers for the 2002-2005 Mercedes C Class Sedan
This is a compact pillar set: two polished stainless covers for the Mercedes C Class 4-door sedan from 2002-2005. PP23080 costs $56.99 and is made in the USA from 26 gauge 304 stainless.
Unlike many listings in this catalog, this one has no linked siblings, so there's no larger or smaller set to compare it with on the page. The listing also doesn't say which pillar the pair is meant for. The product photos are the only guide. Look at them closely, then go and look at your car. If you can see exactly where each of the two covers would sit, you've got what you need. If you can't, call Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 and give them PP23080 before you order.
Is it your car?
The fitment row lists the Mercedes C Class, 2002-2005, 4-door, Sedan. That's four model years and one body. PP23080 is tagged for C Class cars made 2002 through 2005. If your C Class is a different body or falls outside that window, this set isn't listed for it.
The material
304 stainless is a good choice for exterior trim because it resists corrosion and holds a polish without any coating. The shine you see is the metal itself. There's no chrome layer, so there's nothing to blister or flake. A wash keeps it bright.
A word on the C Class
Nearby C Class listings in this catalog have their own sets with different counts and year ranges, but they aren't linked to this one. Don't assume this pair matches or belongs with any of them. Judge it on its own photos, and call if you'd like a second opinion.
How it goes on
Each cover mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface. You don't drill or remove trim. With just two pieces, the job is quick. The Installation tab gives the tape's temperature range and cure time, which are worth reading first.
Because the tape grips the finish already on the posts, take a moment to look at it. Paint or trim that has turned dull and chalky, cracked, or started lifting at the edge should be repaired before fitting. If the surface is firm and smooth, a thorough clean is all the preparation needed.
Step by step
- Check both covers against the photos when the box arrives. Call if either is bent.
- Work on a dry, calm day in the shade.
- Wash and dry both posts, then wipe them with isopropyl alcohol until a clean lint-free cloth shows no residue.
- Hold each cover in place with its liner still on and outline it with painter's tape.
- Peel the liner, line the cover up with the outline, and press firmly along the full length and both edges.
- Fit the second cover, then step back and compare the two.
If a cover won't lie flat during the dry fit, leave its liner on and phone 877-752-3811. After the cure time, wash with ordinary car soap and dry with a soft towel.
Allow an unhurried session anyway. With only two covers, cleaning and marking take longer than the fitting itself.

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.
