Product Description
PP24094 Four-Piece Pillar Trim for the 2004-2009 Jaguar XJ (XJ8, X350)
PP24094 is a four-piece set of polished stainless pillar covers for the 2004-2009 Jaguar XJ. Its fitment row carries four tags: 4-door, Sedan, XJ8 and X350. It's $56.99, made in the USA, and linked to one pillar alternative, the six-piece PP24095.
Reading the fitment
The row reads Jaguar XJ, 2004-2009, 4-door, Sedan, XJ8, X350. Six model years, and your records confirm yours. The XJ8 and X350 tags are there to narrow the match, so compare them with your own car's paperwork. If any of them doesn't match your XJ, or you're unsure what your car is, call Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 and quote PP24094 before ordering.
Four or six
No pillar names, widths or notes appear on either XJ listing. So compare the galleries. Shapes that show up only in the six-piece photos are the difference. Decide whether you'd want those areas in stainless on your XJ. If you wouldn't, four is the simpler job. Look at where the four XJ covers sit in the photos, and call if you'd like a second opinion.
Other linked XJ parts
The listing also links several rocker panel trim products for the XJ, such as TH24095 and TH24096. One of them, TH24097, is noted in the catalog as fitting only the XJ8 L limited edition. Those are separate products with their own pages and their own fitment, so check each one there.
Material
The covers are 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished. Stainless resists corrosion and doesn't depend on plating, so there's no surface layer to flake. Regular washing looks after the mirror shine the listing describes.
Mounting
On the XJ8, each of the four covers is held over the existing pillar surface by 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, with no holes and no Jaguar trim removed. The XJ job's temperatures and cure time are set out on the Installation tab.
The tape grips the finish already on each post, so inspect it. If it's turned chalky, shows fine cracks or has lifted at an edge, repair it first. A smooth, solid finish needs a thorough clean and nothing more.
Fitting
Choose a dry, calm day and work in shade. Check the four covers 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. Check the covers against the photos, hold each up with its liner on, and outline it with painter's tape. Peel, place and press firmly along the whole length and both edges, then fit the next cover straight away so the two can be compared.
Should any of the XJ8's four covers refuse to sit flat, keep its liner in place and phone 877-752-3811. After curing, wash the Jaguar's covers with car soap and towel them dry.
Before buying
Take the photos out to the XJ and match each of the four shapes to a post. While you're there, check the finish. Then allow an unhurried session for the job itself; cleaning and marking take the most time, and a helper makes the dry fit easier.

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.
