Product Description
Volkswagen Golf 2-Door Hatchback 2012-2020 Pillar Post Trim, Two Pieces (PP15610)
PP15610 is a two-piece pillar post set for the Volkswagen Golf, and the tag that matters most is on its fitment row: 2-door, Hatchback. The row reads Volkswagen Golf 2012-2020, and the title matches, though it doesn't mention the door count. The two covers are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, and they mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface.
2-door or 4-door?
The Golf sheet splits by doors. This two-piece set is tagged 2-door. Its only sibling, PP15615, is a four-piece set tagged 4-door Hatchback for the same years. So the first step is to count your Golf's doors, not including the hatch. If it's the 2-door, PP15610 is the set listed for you. If it's the 4-door, look at PP15615 instead. The catalog doesn't explain what each cover is shaped for, so if you're unsure which one suits your car, call 877-752-3811 with PP15610 and tell us your door count and year.
Two pieces
A two-piece set is about as simple as a pillar job gets. The listing doesn't name the pillars its covers go on or mention any triangle piece. The photos show both shapes. Check them against your car before ordering.
Mounting and material
Tape alone holds each cover, laid over the paint or trim that's already there. There's no drilling, and nothing comes off the Golf. Questions about fit on the Volkswagen Golf? Ring 877-752-3811 before ordering. Polished 304 stainless keeps its shine in the metal itself, with no plating to flake, and the 26 gauge sheet sits slim against the pillar.
Preparing two pillars
Wash each pillar with a gentle car shampoo, rinse until the water runs clear, and dry with a soft towel. Wipe with isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth and let it evaporate fully. Strip any wax or ceramic coating where the tape will sit, because tape bonds to the top layer.
Fitting
With the liner still on, hold the first cover against its pillar and slide it until both edges look even along the post. Mark each end with a short strip of painter's tape. Do the same with the second cover, then step back and compare the two; with only two covers on the car, any mismatch is easy to see. When both look right, peel one liner, set the cover between its marks, and press it down firmly from end to end and along both edges. Repeat with the second cover. The Installation tab gives temperature limits and cure time.
Conditions
A dry day without strong sun on the paint. A cool surface lets the alcohol flash off evenly. Two covers make this a short job.
On arrival
Match both covers to the photos before you start. If one won't sit flat, keep its liner on, try it on the other pillar, and call Quality Automotive Trims if it still won't settle. Ordinary car soap keeps them bright.

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.
