Product Description
Lincoln Town Car 1998-2011 Pillar Post Trim, Four-Cover Set (PP38680)
Fourteen model years of the Lincoln Town Car, 1998-2011, sit in the single fitment row for PP38680. It's a four-cover set of polished stainless pillar trim at $56.99, made in the USA from 26 gauge 304 stainless, and the row is tagged 4-door, Sedan.
That long span is undivided. The listing doesn't single out any year within it, and it doesn't say anything about versions of the Town Car beyond the four-door sedan. So read it as written: a four-door Town Car sedan from 1998 through 2011. With so many years in one row, the photos are the real check. Take the gallery to your car and match each of the four shapes to a post. If anything looks unfamiliar for your year, call before ordering.
Two other listings are linked. PP38681 is the six-cover pillar set for the same years. GC38680 is a one-piece gas door cover, a separate part on its own page and not part of either pillar set. Choosing between the four- and six-cover sets comes down to the galleries, because neither listing names its posts, gives widths or carries notes. If the four shapes here cover the posts you'd like polished, order this page; if the six-cover photos suit you better, order PP38681.

The covers are cosmetic. Each lies on a post beside the side glass, and the Lincoln's doors, windows and seals keep working as they do now. The 304 alloy resists corrosion through its composition rather than plating.
The four mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, adhering to whatever paint or trim the posts have. The Town Car isn't drilled, and its trim stays on. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and cure time.
The posts carry the tape, so check each for a powdery bloom, fine cracks, a lifting edge, or wax and polish residue, and fix what you find. Wash with car soap, rinse, dry completely, and wipe with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths until a clean cloth shows no trace.
For the Town Car, gather car soap, a bucket, alcohol, cloths, painter's tape and a pencil, and a friend to look over the covers from a few steps off.
On a dry, still day in shade, compare the four with the photos and call us about any that are bent or missing. The Town Car photos show where each cover goes. With the liner on, hold each cover to its post, nudge it until the gap is even, and outline it in painter's tape. Peel, place it in the outline, and press firmly along its length and both edges. Do the next one, then the last two.
If a cover lifts at an end, don't press harder; keep the liner on and ring 877-752-3811. When the tape has cured, wash the covers with car soap and dry them with a soft towel.

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.
