Product Description
PP11665: Two-Piece Stainless Pillar Post Trim for the 2011-2017 Volkswagen Jetta Sedan
PP11665 is a two-piece pillar post set. It fits the Volkswagen Jetta 4-door sedan, model years 2011 through 2017, and both pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. The catalog doesn't say which pillar or pillars the pair covers, so the product photos are the reference for what you're getting.
The only other pillar set for this Jetta is PP11666, with four pieces. We can't confirm from the data whether the two-piece set is part of the four-piece set. Order one, and call if you can't tell from the photos.
Other Jetta trim on this sheet
Two more parts are listed for the same sedan:
- TH11665, a two-piece rocker panel trim that goes on the rocker. Its note says it installs below the door, and its width is listed as 1.25.
- WS11665, a six-piece window sill trim set. Its note says it includes the section in front of the mirror.
Neither of those overlaps with a pillar set by its description. They're simply other places on the car that QAA makes trim for.
Fitment
Volkswagen Jetta, 2011-2017, 4-door sedan. The title and the single fitment row agree. Check the Jetta is a 2011 to 2017 and that it's the sedan.
Mounting
3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, installed directly over the existing surface. You won't drill or remove anything.
Two pieces, done right
With only two parts, the install is short, so it's worth taking the time on prep. Wash the pillar area with soapy water, rinse, and dry. Wipe it with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth and let it evaporate. Remove any wax or sealant where the tape will sit.
Hold each piece in place with the liner on and compare it with the photos. If one doesn't follow the pillar, try the other piece there. Mark both ends with painter's tape, peel, line it up, and press firmly from end to end. Run a fingertip along the edges, then step back and check that the pair looks even.
The Installation tab lists the temperature range and the cure time to wait before the first wash.
Care
Wash with mild soap and a soft cloth. Avoid steel wool and scouring pads.

What you'll need
A sponge and bucket, microfiber towels, rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth, painter's tape, and the product photos on a phone. That's all; there are no tools to buy for a tape-on install like this.
Work in open shade or a bright garage so glare doesn't hide a crooked edge.
Order of work
If the rocker trim or window sills are planned too, do the pillars first. They're quick, they let you get a feel for how the tape behaves, and the other parts each deserve their own cleaning and a fresh dry day. Doing one area at a time also keeps you from rushing the dry-fit, which is the step that matters most.

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.
