Product Description
Audi A4 2002-2004 Pillar Post Trim, 4 Pieces (PP22624)
PP22624 is a four-piece set of polished stainless pillar covers for the 2002-2004 Audi A4 4-door sedan. It's listed at $56.99, made in the USA, and it's the only pillar set on this sheet, so there's no count to choose between.
The fitment row is brief: Audi A4, 2002-2004, 4-door, Sedan. Three model years. That narrow range makes your records check more important than usual. If your A4 is from another year, or isn't the sedan, this set isn't listed for it. Call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and give them PP22624 if you'd like to check.
The listing is equally brief about the covers. It has no note, no width and no list of pillars. To understand what's in the box, look at the photos. Better still, take them out to your A4 on your phone and match each of the four shapes to a panel. If every shape has a home, you're ready to order. While you're there, look at the finish on each pillar too. If one doesn't, call first.
What we can confirm is the build. The covers are 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror finish. Since stainless shines on its own, there's no plating that could peel or dull over time. They attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface. Nothing is drilled, and none of the A4's trim is removed.
Because the tape bonds to the finish already on the pillars, take a good look at that finish. Years of sun can leave it chalky, crazed or lifting at the edges. Any of those needs repairing before you fit the covers. A firm, smooth surface simply needs a thorough clean.
The Installation tab sets the tape's temperature range and cure time; read it before starting, and plan the day around it.
Fitting, briefly
Choose a dry, calm day and a shaded spot. Have mild car soap, a sponge, isopropyl alcohol, a few lint-free cloths and painter's tape to hand.
Compare the four covers with the photos as you unpack. If one is bent or missing, call.
Wash, rinse and dry the pillars, then wipe each with isopropyl alcohol. Use fresh cloths until one stays clean, and let the surface dry.
Find each cover's place in the photos. Dry-fit each with the liner on and outline it with painter's tape once the edges sit right. Then peel, place and press firmly along the length and edges. Do the next cover straight away and compare the two before finishing.
If an A4 cover won't sit flat, leave its liner in place and call 877-752-3811. Once cured, the Audi's four covers need only ordinary car soap and a soft towel.
Why stainless for this job? Pillar covers sit beside the side glass, catching rain, sun and every wash. Solid polished steel with no coating keeps its look through all of that, which is the point of choosing it. A quiet upgrade that asks very little of you afterwards.

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.
