Product Description
1989-1994 Nissan Maxima Sedan Four-Piece Polished Pillar Covers (PP89540)
PP89540 dresses the pillar posts of a 1989-1994 Nissan Maxima sedan with four mirror-polished stainless steel covers. It is listed for the 4-door sedan, made in the USA from 304 stainless, and mounts with 3M tape.
Four or six for the Maxima
QAA lists a six-piece kit, PP89541, for the same sedan and years. Neither kit has a coverage note in the data, so the catalog does not say which posts the four covers here dress or what the six-piece kit includes. The photos are the way to compare them.
Related Maxima trim
Two more parts are linked to this sedan; check each listing for its finish. The DH89540 is a four-piece door handle accent set. The TH89540 is a six-piece full rocker panel kit, described as spanning from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door. Each is sold separately, and together with the pillars they can give a period sedan a consistent bright theme.
Years
Nissan Maxima, 4-door sedan, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, and 1994. The Fitment tab shows the record.
Material
26-gauge 304 stainless steel with a mirror polish. The finish is the steel itself; there is no plating to wear through.
Mounting
The four 1989-1994 Maxima covers install over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, and no trim is removed. According to QAA, that tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the sedan.
Surface prep for a vintage finish
Thirty-plus years of washing and waxing can leave layers that keep tape from bonding. Wash the pillars carefully, dry them, and clean them with a wax-free product. Look closely for flaking or chalky paint where the covers will go, and repair it first if you find any.
Installing the four covers
On a dry, mild day, dry-fit each cover with its liner on and compare it with the photos. When it lines up, peel the liner and press firmly along its full length. Fit one Maxima cover, step back to check, and set the next to match it. Wait a few days before washing. The Installation tab has full detail.
What pillar posts are
The vertical body sections beside the door glass. A polished cover outlines each one while the original surface stays beneath.
Care
Wash with mild soap, rinse thoroughly, and dry with a soft towel. Avoid abrasive pads and gritty compounds, which leave fine scratches that dull the mirror shine over time.
Before ordering
Confirm the year on your title or registration. If you are unsure whether four or six pieces suits your car, call before buying; each kit is a complete set.
Lining things up
Older sedans can have small differences between pillars after years of service, so trust the dry-fit. Place each cover where it looks right against its own pillar, then step back to view the whole car before pressing down for good.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 4 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.
