Four covers or six?
The listings stop at the count. Neither says which pillars it dresses, and neither has a width or a note. To see the difference, compare the two galleries and look for outlines that only the six-piece set shows. If you don't need those areas in stainless, four is the quicker fit. If you do, choose the other. Buy one or the other; each gallery shows its own pieces. For help, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and quote PP24124.
What pillar trim is
Pillar covers are cosmetic panels for the posts between the side windows. On the GX470 they give those posts a polished steel face without changing anything structural. The original trim stays in place underneath, and the covers simply sit on top.
Why polished 304
Stainless of this grade resists corrosion and doesn't need plating to shine. With nothing coated on, there's nothing to flake, and a regular wash keeps the finish bright.
Before the tape goes on
The tape bonds to the finish already on each post. Look at all four in good light. If any is faded to a chalky film, shows fine cracks or has a lifting edge, have it repaired first. A firm, smooth post needs only a careful clean. The Installation tab gives the tape's temperature range and cure time.
Supplies
Mild car soap, a bucket, isopropyl alcohol, a stack of lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil. A second pair of hands is useful for holding covers during the dry fit and judging the lines from a few steps back.
Fitting the four
- Pick a dry, calm day and work in the shade.
- Check each cover against the photos and call if one is bent or missing.
- Wash and dry the posts, then wipe with isopropyl alcohol until a fresh lint-free cloth stays clean.
- Match the four covers to their places using the photos.
- Dry-fit each with its liner on and outline it with painter's tape.
- Peel, place and press firmly along the full length and both edges.
- Fit the following GX470 cover and compare it with the first.
A step stool helps if the upper edges are hard to see from the ground. If a cover won't lie flat, keep its liner on and phone 877-752-3811. After the cure time, wash with car soap and dry with a soft towel.
Before you order
Open the gallery on your phone beside the GX470 and match each of the four shapes to a post. Your GX470 has to fall in the 2003-2009 run. Then allow an unhurried session for the job; most of it goes on cleaning and marking.

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.
