Product Description
2006-2008 Mercedes ML Class Pillar Post Trim, Four Pieces (PP26065)
The fitment on PP26065 is narrow: three model years of the Mercedes ML Class, 2006-2008, tagged 4-door, SUV. Inside that window, it gives you four polished stainless pillar covers for $67.99, cut from 26 gauge 304 stainless in the USA. If your ML falls outside 2006-2008, this listing doesn't cover it, so check the year first. Something about the ML covers unclear? Ring 877-752-3811 and we'll go through it.
One alternative is linked: PP26066, a six-piece set for the same years. The two listings name no pillars and give no widths, so the galleries are how you tell them apart. Bring both up, study every outline, and work out where each piece would sit on your ML. Four is the shorter job and costs less. Six suits you if its photos show the polished look you want and these don't. Either way, order a single set.

Pillar covers are a cosmetic upgrade. A thin, bright stainless panel sits over each post between the side windows, and nothing about the doors, seals or glass changes. Grade 304 is stainless throughout and resists corrosion without plating, so there's no layer to chip and nothing different below a scratch. Washing with soapy water keeps it looking right.
Mounting uses 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface. Nothing is drilled and none of the Mercedes trim needs removing. The Installation tab lists the temperature range and how long the tape takes to cure.
An ML from 2006-2008 has had time for its posts to change. Before fitting, look closely at all four in good daylight, running a finger along each. A milky haze, a network of fine cracks, a corner beginning to curl, or a slippery film of wax each give the tape less to hold, so treat those first. Clean with car soap, dry, and finish with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth. A small step stool helps if the upper edges are hard to see from the ground.
Besides the covers, you'll use a bucket, soap, alcohol, cloths and a roll of painter's tape.
Wait for a still, dry day and put the Mercedes in shade. Check the four covers against the gallery and phone if one arrives bent or short. Start with the front pair: backing on, hold the first ML Class cover in place, settle it so the gaps match, and trace around it. Mark the next cover the same way, then compare the two from in front of the SUV. Peel, press each firmly from end to end and down both edges, and repeat with the rear pair.
If one won't sit flush, keep its backing on and call 877-752-3811. Keep the ML out of rain until the cure time passes.
Four covers is a modest job, with cleaning taking most of the time. Before ordering, open the gallery beside the ML and give each of the four shapes 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.
