Product Description
Mercedes R Class 2006-2012 Pillar Trim: Four-Piece Stainless Set (PP26070)
The Mercedes R Class has four linked pillar sets in this catalog, and PP26070 is the four-cover one. All four are for the 2006-2012 R Class, tagged 4-door, SUV, and all are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless made in the USA.

None of the four names the pillars it covers, and none gives a width or a note, so the table can only show counts. To tell the sets apart, open the four galleries and compare the shape of every piece. Imagine each one on your R Class. Four covers make the shortest job and cost the least. If these shapes put polished steel where you want it, this is the set; if another gallery matches your plans better, order that one instead. Whatever you pick, order a single listing.
The years run 2006-2012, seven model years. R Class coverage for four covers runs 2006 to 2012. If you're torn between counts or unsure of the year, phone Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 and mention PP26070.
These covers are cosmetic: a bright stainless skin over the posts between the side windows. Doors, glass and seals are left alone. Grade 304 resists corrosion by itself, with no plating, so a scuff shows the same steel beneath. Soapy water is the only cleaner it needs.
Each of the four covers is held by 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape pressed directly over the existing surface of an R Class post. You won't drill, unclip or remove anything. Plan the day around the temperature range and cure time on the Installation tab.
Start by judging the four posts on your R Class. If one feels slick with wax, looks dusty or pale, shows hairline cracks, or has an edge starting to rise, fix that before the tape goes anywhere near it. Then a soapy wash, a full dry and a rubbing-alcohol wipe on a clean lint-free cloth. Use a small step stool if the upper edges are hard to see from the ground.
That's all the kit there is: soap, a bucket, alcohol, cloths and painter's tape, plus a second pair of eyes if anyone is around.
Work on a calm, dry day with the Mercedes in shade. Compare the four covers with the gallery and call if one is bent or missing. Fit the front pair first. Hold the first cover to its post with the backing on, shift it until the margins look even, and outline it; do the same with the next and check the two from the front. Peel, seat each cover in its outline, and press hard along its length and edges. Then repeat with the rear pair.
Should a cover refuse to lie flat, keep its backing on and phone 877-752-3811. Keep the SUV dry until the cure time ends. Before ordering, give each of the four shapes in the gallery a post on your R Class.

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.
