Product Description
PP20527: Four Polished Pillar Covers for the 2000-2004 Nissan Pathfinder
For the 2000-2004 Nissan Pathfinder 4-door SUV, PP20527 is a set of four polished stainless pillar covers, made in the USA and listed at $67.99. No other pillar sets are linked to it, so the only question is whether it suits your Pathfinder.
Fitment. Nissan Pathfinder, 2000-2004, 4-door, SUV. Five model years on one row. If your year is outside that range, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and ask about PP20527 before buying.
What's not on the listing. There's no note, no width and no list of the pillars covered. We can't tell you which four uprights the covers dress, so please use the photos. Stand by the vehicle with the gallery open and match each shape to a panel. If one has no obvious home, call first.
The material. 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished. Because the shine is the steel and not a plating, there's nothing on the surface to peel or blister. Plain washing keeps it bright.
The mounting. 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface. No drilling, and nothing comes off the Pathfinder. The Installation tab gives the tape's temperature range and cure time.
The finish underneath. The tape bonds to whatever surface is already there, so on a vehicle from these years it pays to check. Pillars that have spent many seasons in the sun can become powdery or start to flake. If yours look like that, have them repaired before fitting. If they're firm and smooth, a careful clean is all the preparation needed. Call for advice if you're unsure.
Why it's worth checking first. Taped trim is meant to stay where you put it. A few minutes matching photos to panels, confirming the year and inspecting the finish saves the hassle of a return or a cover that won't hold.
Getting ready. Choose a dry, still day and park in the shade. Have mild car soap, a sponge, isopropyl alcohol, several lint-free cloths and painter's tape ready, and a stable step stool if the upper edges are hard to see.
Checking the parts. Unpack the four covers onto a towel and compare each with the photos. A bent or missing piece is a call to make now.
Cleaning. Wash the pillar faces, rinse and dry. Then wipe each with isopropyl alcohol. Keep changing to fresh cloths until one comes away clean, which may take a few passes on older surfaces, and let it evaporate.
Placing. Where each Pathfinder cover goes is clear from the gallery. Hold each one up with its liner on, adjust until the edges sit right, and mark round it with painter's tape.
Pressing. Peel one liner, set the cover inside its marks and press with firm, even strokes from end to end and along both edges. Fit the next cover, compare the two, then do the last two.
If it won't sit. Leave the liner on and phone 877-752-3811.
Care. After the cure time, wash with ordinary car soap and dry 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.
