Product Description
Mitsubishi Galant 2004-2008 Sedan Pillar Post Trim, 4 Pieces (PP24001)
PP24001 is four polished stainless pillar covers for the 2004-2008 Mitsubishi Galant 4-door sedan. It's $67.99 and made in the USA. The linked alternative, PP24002, has six covers for the same years.
Years matter here
The catalog also carries a pillar set for an earlier Galant, and it isn't linked to this one. The two are listed for different model years, so check yours carefully. This set's row reads Mitsubishi Galant, 2004-2008, 4-door, Sedan: five model years. If your records show a year outside that window, this isn't the listing for your car. If in doubt, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and quote PP24001.
Four covers or six
Neither listing for this Galant names its pillars, lists a width or includes a note. The photos are what separate them. Compare the two galleries, pick out the shapes that only the six-piece set shows, and decide whether you'd like those areas in stainless. If not, four covers is less work. Order one set.
What these covers do
Pillar trim is cosmetic. The covers sit over the posts between the side windows of the Galant and give them a polished face. Nothing structural changes, and the car keeps all its existing trim underneath.
The material
26 gauge 304 stainless steel with a polished finish. It resists corrosion and has no plating, so there's nothing to flake away. The bright look is the metal itself, and washing keeps it that way.
The mounting
3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape attaches each cover directly over the existing surface. No drilling and no trim removal. Read the Installation tab for the tape's temperature range and cure time first.
The tape depends on the finish beneath it. Examine each post in daylight. Chalkiness, crazing, cracks or a lifting edge should be repaired before fitting. A firm, smooth surface just needs thorough cleaning; keep going until a fresh lint-free cloth comes away clean.
Fitting
Pick a dry, calm day and a shady spot. Unpack the four covers and check each against the photos, calling if anything is bent or missing. Wash and dry the posts, then wipe them with isopropyl alcohol. Match the covers to the photos, hold each up with its liner on, and outline it with painter's tape when the edges sit evenly. Peel, place and press firmly from end to end and along both edges. Fit the next cover right after, and compare the two.
If a cover won't lie flat, keep its liner on and phone 877-752-3811. Once the tape has cured, wash with car soap and dry with a soft towel. The steel comes polished to a mirror shine, says the listing.
Before you buy
Hold the gallery up next to the Galant and make sure every one of the four shapes has a clear home. Feel each post's finish while you're there. Then allow an unhurried session for the job; cleaning and marking take the longest, and a helper speeds up the dry fit. Everything above about PP24001 also appears under Specs.

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.
