Product Description
PP27610 Pillar Trim Pair, 2006-2013 Audi A3
Two polished stainless pillar covers for the Audi A3, listed for 2006-2013: PP27610 costs $56.99, and the pair is made in the USA from 26 gauge 304 stainless steel.
Read the body tag before you buy. The fitment record lists the A3 as "2-door, Coupe" for every one of those years. If that matches your car, carry on. If your A3 has a different number of doors or a different body, this listing doesn't claim to fit it, and you should compare the photos with your car or call Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 before ordering. Have the part number PP27610 handy.
The listing stands alone; there are no linked sibling sets for this A3, so there's no larger or smaller count to compare. It also doesn't say which pillar the two covers are shaped for or give a width. That leaves the photographs. Open the gallery beside your car and check that each shape matches a post. Both covers are polished stainless steel.
A pair of covers is a cosmetic touch. Each is a thin polished panel that sits on a post beside the side glass. Window and door operation stay as they are, and the rubber seals are untouched. Because 304 stainless resists corrosion without relying on plating, there's no coating to wear through; washing is the only maintenance.
The pair attaches with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface. No drilling and no trim removal. The Installation tab sets out the temperature range and cure time.
Though there are only two posts, the result depends on how well they're prepared. An A3 that has seen several years of sun and washing may carry wax, a faded or chalky surface, or a small crack near an edge. The tape bonds to whatever finish is there, so fix those first. Wash with car soap, dry completely, then wipe both posts with rubbing alcohol on a clean, lint-free cloth and allow it to evaporate.
When the covers arrive, check them against the gallery and call if either is damaged. Hold the first one in place with the backing on and trace around it in painter's tape, then do the same with the second. Stand in front of the car and behind it to see whether the two outlines match. If they do, peel one backing and press the cover firmly from end to end, paying attention to both edges, and repeat with the second cover.
If either cover sits proud, leave the backing on and phone 877-752-3811. Choose a dry, mild, shaded day, and keep the car out of rain until the cure time on the Installation tab has passed. After that, wash the covers along with the paint.
One more thing to do before checking out: confirm the year as well as the body. The listing covers 2006-2013, so a car registered in a later year needs a quick call first, even if the doors and body match the tag.

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.
