Product Description
Mercedes S Class 2000-2006 Pillar Post Trim, Four Pieces (PP21085)
PP21085 is a set of four polished stainless pillar covers for the 2000-2006 Mercedes S Class 4-door sedan, listed at $67.99. It has one linked alternative, the six-piece PP21086.
Here's a quick way to decide whether it's right for you, in three checks.
Check one: the car. The fitment row is Mercedes S Class, 2000-2006, 4-door, Sedan, which spans seven model years. S Class sedans from 2000 to 2006 are listed. If the year or model doesn't match, phone Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and ask about PP21085 before you order.
Check two: the count. Neither S Class listing says which pillars its covers go on. No notes, no widths, nothing beyond four and six. So compare the two galleries. Look for any shape in the six-piece photos that isn't in these, and decide whether that's a spot you want in stainless. Four is the shorter, simpler fit. The four S Class covers are pictured; ring 877-752-3811 to check them.
Check three: the surface. These covers attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface, so the finish on each pillar has to be sound. On a car from these years, inspect it closely. Powdery, cracked or lifting areas need repair before fitting. If the finish is firm and smooth, a deep clean is all it needs. Ring the number above if you'd like advice.
Pass all three, and the rest is straightforward. The covers are 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished and made in the USA, with no plated layer that could peel. The tape mounting means no drilling and no removal of the car's trim. Before you start, read the Installation tab for the tape's temperature range and cure time.
Fitting the four
Choose a dry, still day and work in the shade. You'll want mild car soap, a sponge, isopropyl alcohol, a stack of lint-free cloths and painter's tape.
Unpack the covers onto a soft towel and compare each with the photos. Anything bent or missing is a phone call before you begin.
Wash the pillar faces with the soap, rinse and dry. Next, go over each with isopropyl alcohol. Older finishes often carry layers of old wax, so expect to use several cloths; carry on until a fresh one comes away clean, then let it evaporate.
Set the S Class covers out next to the gallery images. Hold each one in place with its liner still on, adjust until both edges look right, and mark round it with painter's tape.
Now peel the first liner, set the cover inside its marks and press with smooth, firm strokes along its length and both edges. Fit the next cover so you can judge the two together, then complete the last two the same way.
Should an S-Class cover refuse to lie flat, keep its liner on and call 877-752-3811 for help. After the cure time, ordinary car soap and a soft towel are the only care the four polished covers need.

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.
