Product Description
Mercedes E Class Wagon 2004-2009 Pillar Post Trim, 4 Pieces (PP23063)
PP23063 is a four-piece set of polished stainless pillar covers for the Mercedes E Class wagon, model years 2004-2009, listed at $67.99. The title just says "Mercedes E Class", but the fitment row's body tag is 4-door Wagon, and that's the detail that matters. The catalog also has E Class sedan sets with near-identical titles; those are tagged 4-door Sedan and aren't for the wagon.
Two other wagon sets are linked here: PP23064 with six covers and PP23065 with ten. None of the three listings has a note, a width or a list of pillars, so the count is the only stated difference.
Confirm the car
The row reads Mercedes E Class, 2004-2009, 4-door, Wagon. Six model years, and your records will confirm yours. If your E Class is the sedan, or a year outside that range, this set isn't listed for it. When in doubt, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP23063.
Pick a count
Compare the three wagon galleries. Note any outline that shows up in the six or ten-piece photos and not in these four. Decide which of those areas, if any, you'd like in stainless. Four is the simplest fit. Look through the E Class wagon galleries before choosing one listing. E Class fit questions are welcome at 877-752-3811.
Material and mounting
Each cover is 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished, made in the USA. No plating, so no coating to flake. The covers attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface, without drilling or removing trim.
The tape holds to the current pillar finish, so inspect it. If it's turned chalky, crazed or loose over the years, repair it first. Smooth, firm finish just needs cleaning. The Installation tab gives the tape's temperature range and cure time.
Why stainless
304 stainless resists corrosion well and holds a polish without a coating. Because the shine belongs to the metal, a light scuff doesn't expose anything underneath. Washing is all the upkeep it needs, and the wagon's posts keep the same bright look between washes.
Fitting
On a dry, calm day in the shade, unpack the four covers and compare each with the photos; call if one is bent or missing. Wash and dry the pillars, then wipe each with isopropyl alcohol until a fresh lint-free cloth stays clean. Compare the covers with the photos, dry-fit each with its liner on, and outline it with painter's tape. Peel, place and press one at a time with firm strokes along the length and both edges.
If the upper edges are hard to see from the ground, a stable step stool helps. If a cover won't lie flat, keep its liner on and phone 877-752-3811. After the cure time, wash with ordinary car soap and dry with a soft towel.
Before ordering, hold the photos up beside the car and make sure each shape has an obvious home. If one doesn't, call first.

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.
