Product Description
Polished Pillar Post Trim for the 2004-2006 Scion xB, Four Covers (PP24180)
PP24180 is a four-piece set of polished stainless pillar covers for the 2004-2006 Scion xB 4-door hatchback. It's $67.99 and made in the USA from 26 gauge 304 stainless steel. One pillar alternative is linked, the six-piece PP24181, along with a good number of other xB trim listings.
Three model years
The fitment row is narrow: Scion xB, 2004-2006, 4-door, Hatchback. That's three model years. The xB row is short: 2004, 2005 and 2006. If your xB is outside that range, this set isn't listed for it, and Quality Automotive Trims can advise on 877-752-3811 if you quote PP24180.
Four covers or six
The two pillar listings give a count and nothing else: no pillar names, widths or notes. Compare the galleries and pick out the shapes the six-piece photos show and these don't. If you'd rather not dress those areas, four covers is the lighter job. Pick one xB set; its photos show where the covers go, and we can confirm by phone.
Other linked xB listings
Several separate products are linked, including DH24180 (Door Handle Accent Trim), GC24180 (Gas Door Cover Trim), RD24180 (Rear Deck Accent), SG24180 (Front Grille Accent Trim, noted as an insert package), TH24180 (Rocker Panel Trim, On the rocker) and SGR24180, plus WP24180 shown by number only. Each has its own page with its own details.
Material
Polished 304 stainless resists corrosion and has no plating, so the finish can't flake off. A wash keeps it bright, and the listing says it arrives mirror polished. The covers are cosmetic, giving the posts between the side windows a bright face without changing anything structural.
Mounting and surface
The xB's four covers are fixed with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape straight onto the hatchback's existing posts, so nothing is drilled or removed. The Installation tab sets out temperatures and cure time.
The tape bonds to the finish already on the posts. After a few years outdoors, a finish can turn chalky, craze or start lifting at an edge; if any post looks like that, have it repaired before fitting. Rub a fingertip along each post, and if it comes away dusty, clean again. A firm, smooth finish is ready once it's clean.
Fitting
Choose a dry, calm day in the shade. Unpack the four covers and compare each with the photos, calling if one is bent or missing. Wash and dry the posts, then wipe them with isopropyl alcohol until a fresh lint-free cloth stays clean. Hold each xB cover up to the photos. Dry-fit each with its liner on, line up the edges and outline it with painter's tape. Peel, place and press firmly along the full length and both edges, then fit the next cover straight after so the two can be compared.
For a Scion cover that resists lying flat, leave the liner in place and call 877-752-3811. After the cure period, a car-soap wash and soft towel are all they need.
Time
An unhurried session is plenty. Cleaning and marking take longer than pressing the covers on. Before you order, hold the gallery up beside the xB 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.
