Product Description
Jaguar S-Type 2000-2008 Pillar Post Trim, Four Pieces (PP20098)
PP20098 is a four-piece polished stainless pillar post set for the Jaguar S-Type 4-door sedan, model years 2000 through 2008, listed at $56.99. No other pillar sets are linked to it on this sheet.
A second S-Type set exists, but it isn't linked
The catalog also has a six-piece S-Type pillar set. It isn't linked to this one, and its listing covers only the first few model years of this range rather than the full span. If your S-Type is one of those early cars, both sets may show up in a search, and the catalog doesn't explain how they differ beyond the count and years. Compare the photos of each and, if you're unsure which suits your car, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and ask about PP20098. A single S-Type set is the intent; talk to us on 877-752-3811 first if you want more.
Fitment
Jaguar S-Type, 2000-2008, 4-door, Sedan. That's nine model years on one row. The four-piece S-Type set lists 2000 to 2008.
What the listing doesn't say
There's no note, no width and no list of pillars. The product photos show the four shapes. Before buying, open them on your phone beside the car and match each one to a panel. If a shape has no obvious home, call first.
Why check so carefully? The covers go on with tape and are meant to stay, so a few minutes of matching shapes to panels now saves a return later.
Material
26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished and made in the USA. The shine is the steel's own surface, not plating, so there's no coating to peel.
Mounting and surface condition
The covers attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface, with no drilling and no trim removal. The Installation tab lists the tape's temperature range and cure time.
The tape bonds to whatever is underneath, so look at the pillar surface first. If it's cracked, flaking or loose, sort that out before fitting, or call for advice. Years of wax and polish also leave a film that needs removing completely.
Fitting
Pick a dry, still day and a shaded spot. Unpack the four covers and compare them with the photos; call if one is bent or missing.
Wash the pillar faces with mild car soap, rinse and dry. Wipe each with isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth. If the cloth picks up residue, repeat with a fresh one until it stays clean, then let it evaporate.
The S-Type gallery is the guide to where each cover goes. Hold each against its pillar with the liner on until the edges sit right, then frame it with painter's tape. Peel, set the cover into its frame, and press steadily from end to end and along both edges. Fit the next one and compare the two before doing the last two.
An S-Type cover that won't settle flat should keep its liner on while you phone 877-752-3811. After curing, the Jaguar's four covers take car soap and 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.
