PP98750 is the four-piece pillar kit QAA lists for the later Mazda 626 4-door sedan, model years 1998 through 2002. The covers are mirror-polished 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, mounted with 3M tape.
Make sure you have the right 626
QAA catalogs pillar kits for more than one run of the Mazda 626, and they are not interchangeable listings. This record starts at 1998 and ends at 2002. If your registration shows an earlier year, this is not the kit cataloged for your car; the Fitment tab and our phone line can point you in the right direction.
Years
1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 4-door sedan.
Two kits for this sedan
PP98751 is the six-piece version. As with most twin kits in the catalog, neither record carries a coverage note, so the data does not explain which pillars the four covers here are cut for or what the six-piece kit includes. The photos are the honest comparison.
Made of
26-gauge 304 stainless steel with a mirror polish, made in the USA. The shine is the metal itself, so no plating can flake.
Held on by
The 626 kit relies on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, and the four covers sit on the current surface without any trim being removed. According to QAA, the tape holds for a lifetime without harming the Mazda.
Get the surface right
Wash the pillars, dry them, and strip old wax with a cleaner that leaves no film. Then check the paint by hand and by eye. Any peeling clear or soft paint should be fixed before the tape goes on, since the bond can only be as strong as the top layer.
Four steps to finish
- Dry-fit each cover with its liner on, on a mild, dry day.
- Peel the liner and align the cover with the door frame.
- Press firmly from end to end.
- Fit one 626 cover, check it, and repeat its placement on the next; then skip washing for a few days.
Full instructions are on the Installation tab.
Care after install
Mild soap and a soft cloth. Keep abrasive pads and compounds away from the polished face.
Keep the tape clean
Hold the covers by their edges and peel each liner only at the moment of fitting, so dust and fingerprints stay off the adhesive.
Why it works on a sedan like this
A few bright accents at the pillars lift the side view of a plain sedan without looking overdone, and the original pillars stay untouched underneath. If you ever want the old look back, the change is cosmetic, not structural.
Where pillar posts are
Pillar posts are the vertical sections of the body that run up beside and between the side windows. From the curb, they read as narrow bands next to the glass. Dressing them in polished stainless turns those bands into bright lines that catch the light as the car moves.

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.
