Product Description
Ford Five Hundred, Taurus, Mercury Montego & Sable Pillar Post Trim, Four Covers With Keyless Pad (PP45490)
PP45490 is a four-cover pillar post set, $73.49, in polished 26 gauge 304 stainless made in the USA. Four sedans appear in the title and the record, each tagged 4-door, Sedan: the Ford Five Hundred 2005-2007, the Ford Taurus 2008-2009, the Mercury Montego 2005-2007 and the Mercury Sable 2008-2009. Its one note reads "Includes keyless entry touch pad."
That note isn't explained further in the listing, and we won't describe the cover beyond it. The linked six-cover set, PP45491, carries the same note, and no version without it is linked here. If you have questions about how the keypad note relates to your car's posts, study the gallery and give us a call before ordering.
The years split by model. Five Hundred and Montego owners need a 2005-2007 car; Taurus and Sable owners need 2008-2009. Check your own model's row, and make sure the body is the four-door sedan.
Several other parts for these sedans are linked, each sold separately: GC45490 (gas door cover), LB45490 (license bar accent), RI45490 (roof insert trim), TH45490 (rocker trim) and WZ45490 (wheel well fender molding).
Comparing four covers with PP45491's six comes down to the galleries, because neither page has post names or widths. Count the shapes and match them to your car's posts.

These covers are decorative. Each lies over a post next to the side windows, and the doors, glass and seals keep working as before. Grade 304 stainless resists corrosion through its alloy rather than a plated surface.
Each one fixes with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape onto the post's existing paint or trim. The Ford or Mercury isn't drilled and keeps every piece of its trim. Temperature range and cure time are on the Installation tab.
Begin with clean, firm posts. Remove wax and polish, and repair paint that's chalky, crazed or lifting. Wash with car soap, rinse, dry fully, and wipe each with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths, turning to a fresh fold until it comes up clean. Check for dents as well.
Keep a bucket of car-soap water, rubbing alcohol, some lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil nearby. Someone watching from the side of the sedan can confirm each cover looks square.
In shade, on a dry and still day, compare the four with the gallery and let us know about anything bent or missing. Hold a cover to the post its photo shows with the liner on, move it until the margin is even, and outline it with painter's tape. Peel, seat it in the outline and press firmly along its length and both edges. Compare it with its photo, then fit the next.
If a cover rocks or won't close up, keep its liner on and phone 877-752-3811. After the cure, wash with car soap and water and dry with a soft towel.

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.
