Product Description
Mitsubishi Outlander 2002-2006: Four Polished Pillar Covers (PP26010)
The set. PP26010 holds four polished stainless pillar covers for the 2002-2006 Mitsubishi Outlander, tagged 4-door, SUV. It's $67.99 and made in the USA from 26 gauge 304 stainless. A six-piece Outlander set, PP26011, is linked as the alternative.
The years. 2002-2006, five model years. Check your records rather than relying on memory, and call if your year sits at either end and you'd like a second opinion.
Four or six. Neither Outlander listing names its pillars or gives a width or a note, so compare the galleries. Look at the shape of each cover and decide where it would sit on your SUV. If these four give you the polished areas you want, it's the quicker, cheaper job. If the six-piece photos are closer to your plan, order that. Choose one listing.
Questions. Quality Automotive Trims, 877-752-3811. Have PP26010 and your model year ready.
What they do. They put a bright stainless face over the posts between the side windows. It's a cosmetic change only.
Why 304. It resists corrosion without plating, so there's no coating to chip and no other metal beneath it. Soap and water are all the care it needs.
How they mount. Each Outlander cover carries no hardware; it's held by 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape pressed directly over the existing surface of the post. You won't drill the Mitsubishi or unclip its trim. Read the temperature range and cure time on the Installation tab first.
Prep. A 2002-2006 Outlander's posts may have faded, picked up wax, or started to crack or curl at a corner. Any of those will let a cover down, because the tape grips that finish and nothing deeper. Put them right, then wash the four posts, dry them completely and wipe each with rubbing alcohol until a clean lint-free cloth picks up nothing.
Kit. Soap and a bucket, the alcohol and cloths, painter's tape, and a step stool if the upper edges are hard to see from the ground.
Fitting. Pick a dry, windless day out of direct sun. Unwrap the four covers and match them to the gallery; phone if one is bent or absent. Lay the four covers on a towel in the order the photos show. Take one cover, keep its backing on, and hold it to its post until the gaps look even, then trace round it with painter's tape. Do the same with the next cover and look along the SUV from the front to compare. If they match, peel, seat each cover inside its tape line and press firmly along the whole length and both edges.
If something's off. Leave the backing on any cover that won't sit flat, and call 877-752-3811 before pressing it.
Aftercare. Keep the Outlander out of rain until the cure time ends; after that, the covers wash with the paint.
Time. With four pieces, most of the session goes on cleaning and marking. Pressing on is quick once the outlines are drawn.
Before you order. Walk round the Outlander with the gallery open on your phone and match each of the four shapes to a post.

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.
