Product Description
PP27550 Altima Sedan Pillar Covers, Four Pieces, 2007-2012
This is a four-piece set of polished stainless pillar covers for the 2007-2012 Nissan Altima, listed for the 4-door, Sedan only. PP27550 sells for $56.99, and the covers are cut from 26 gauge 304 stainless steel in the USA.
Check the body style before anything else. The Altima range in these years shows up in this catalog both as a sedan and as a 2-door, Coupe, and each gets its own pillar listing. This set is the sedan one. Coupe owners should look at PP27558 instead. If your records don't make the body style obvious, phone Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 and quote PP27550.
For the sedan there's a second pillar listing, PP27551, with six covers. Neither the four-piece nor the six-piece listing says which pillars it covers or how wide the pieces are, so the gallery photographs are the only guide. Look at both, then at the posts on your Altima, and pick the count that puts the polish where you want it. One listing is all you need.
You may also notice WP27550, a window trim package for the sedan whose note reads "Includes Upper Trim and Pillar Posts, NO Window Sills". The listings don't compare its pillar pieces with this set, so if you're weighing the package against PP27550, study the photos or call before ordering to avoid doubling up on the same posts.
The job itself is cosmetic. Each cover is a thin polished panel laid over a post between the side windows; the doors, glass and rubber seals are unaffected. Grade 304 stainless resists corrosion without a plated coat, so it needs only washing.
Fitting uses 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface. No holes are drilled and nothing comes off the car. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and cure time.
An Altima from these years has had time to pick up wax build-up or a faded finish on its posts, and the tape bonds to whatever is there. Look closely for chalkiness, cracks or a corner starting to lift and sort those first. Then wash with car soap, dry thoroughly, and wipe each post with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth.
When the covers arrive, lay all four out and compare them with the gallery; call straight away if one is marked or missing. Hold the four Altima covers up to the photos. Hold each against its post with the backing still on and trace around it in painter's tape. Step back to make sure the covers line up. Then peel and press one cover at a time, working firmly along its length and both edges.
If a cover sits proud anywhere, stop with its backing on and ring 877-752-3811. Choose a dry, mild day in the shade. A four-piece set is a modest job, but plan an unhurried session so the marking-out gets proper attention. Keep the sedan out of rain until the cure time has passed, then wash the covers with the rest of the car.

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.
