Product Description
Volkswagen Passat Sedan 1999-2005 Four-Piece Stainless Pillar Trim (PP99675)
PP99675 is the four-piece pillar kit QAA lists for the 1999-2005 Volkswagen Passat 4-door sedan. The covers are mirror-polished 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, and they attach to the existing pillars with 3M tape.
Sedan and wagon are listed separately
This Passat run has three pillar kits in the catalog, split by body. QAA lists this four-piece kit and the six-piece PP99676 for the sedan. The wagon has its own six-piece kit, PP99677. All three share similar titles, so check the body style on your registration before you order.
Model years
1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005, 4-door sedan.
Four or six on the sedan
Neither sedan kit has a coverage note in the data, so the catalog does not say which posts this kit's four covers go on or where PP99676 places its further pair. Compare the product photos, and call if you want help choosing.
A matching fuel door accent
GC99675 is a one-piece gas door cover listed for the same sedan. It is a separate product with its own listing and instructions.
Polished stainless
Each cover is 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, mirror polished. The finish is part of the metal, so there is no plating to bubble or flake.
3M tape, no hardware
For the Passat, each of the four pieces fastens with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape onto the surface already there, and you will not remove any trim. QAA says the tape keeps its grip for a lifetime without damage.
Preparing the paint
Wash and dry the pillars, then wipe them with a residue-free cleaner to take off wax and sealant. Look closely for lifting clear or soft paint and repair it before installation.
Install steps in short
On a dry, mild day out of direct sunlight, dry-fit each cover with its liner on, aligning it with the door frame. Peel the liner and press firmly along the full length. Fit one Passat cover, step back to check, then do the next. Avoid washing for a few days afterward. The Installation tab spells out each step.
Care
Hand wash with mild soap and dry with a soft towel. Keep scouring pads away from the mirror finish.
Handling
Hold each cover by its edges and keep the liner on until you are ready to press it down.
Why polished pillars
Bright pillars give a sedan's side view a crisp accent, and because they sit over the original pillars, nothing is permanently changed.
A seven-year fitment
One record covers every sedan from 1999 to 2005, so the same four covers are listed whichever of those years you own. If you would like a person to double-check your specific car before ordering, the phone number is below.
Where the pillars are
Pillar posts are the upright body sections that frame the side windows. On the sedan they show as dark or painted bands between the glass. Covering them in polished steel turns each into a bright line, while the factory pillar stays untouched beneath it.

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.
