Mercedes GL Class 2007-2012: Four-Piece Stainless Pillar Post Trim (PP27076)
Owners of a 2007-2012 Mercedes GL Class have four linked pillar sets to pick from, and PP27076 is the starting point: four polished stainless covers for $67.99. The row is tagged 4-door, SUV. Steel is 26 gauge 304 stainless, cut and polished in the USA.
Here's how the family lines up. PP27077 carries six covers, PP27078 eight and PP27079 ten. Same years, same tags. What none of them offers is a list of pillars or a width, so working out the difference means opening the galleries. Spend a minute on each, noting the outline of every piece and where it would rest on your GL. If this four-piece gallery shows the posts you care about, this is your set. If not, move to whichever count matches your plan. Whichever you settle on, that one listing is the order.
Six model years are listed. Your records will confirm whether your GL falls inside 2007-2012; if it doesn't, this family of listings isn't for it. Calls go to Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811; mention PP27076.
Purely decorative, the covers lay bright steel over the posts between the side windows. They leave doors, glass and seals alone. 304 stainless resists corrosion without needing a plated coat over it. Car soap and water: that's the upkeep.
A strip of 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape secures each cover, directly over the existing surface. Drilling isn't part of it; neither is removing trim. Temperature range and cure time sit on the Installation tab.
Think of the tape as only as good as the paint or trim under it. Brush a fingertip along each post: dusty chalking, crazed lines, a lifted corner or a waxy skin all have to go first. Follow with soap, a rinse, a dry, and rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth, changing cloths until one stays white. Upper edges hard to see from the ground? A step stool solves it.
For the GL's four, the kit is short: car soap and a bucket, rubbing alcohol, a handful of lint-free cloths, painter's tape, a pencil, and somebody to stand back from the SUV and compare the covers.
On a mild, still, dry day in the shade, count the four covers against the photos and phone about anything bent or short. Match each to the photos. Keep the liner attached while you hold each one to its post, adjust it until the reveal is even all round, and outline it with painter's tape. Then peel, set it in its outline, and press hard along the full length and both edges. The next cover goes on straight after, so the two can be compared while you're still at it.
Should a cover refuse to sit flush, its backing stays on until you've called 877-752-3811. After the cure time, wash the Mercedes as normal with car soap and dry the covers with a soft towel. Expect an easygoing session, mostly cleaning.
Before you order, carry the gallery out to the GL on your phone and give each of the four shapes a post. Brush a hand over each post's surface at the same time, so any repair is planned before the parcel turns up.

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.
