Product Description
Ford Taurus X 2008-2009 Four-Cover Pillar Post Trim, Includes Keyless Entry Touch Pad (PP48355)
PP48355 is a four-cover pillar post set for the Ford Taurus X crossover, listed for 2008-2009 at $84.49. The covers are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel made in the USA. One fitment row is on the record: Ford Taurus X 2008-2009, tagged 4-door, Crossover SUV. The set also carries a single note: "Includes keyless entry touch pad."
What the note tells you. The record says the set includes a piece for the keyless entry touch pad, and that's all it says. It doesn't describe which of the four that is or how it sits around the pad. Check the gallery, and call us if it's unclear.
Fit. Two model years, 2008 and 2009, and the four-door crossover body. Check that yours matches both. Outside those, the record doesn't apply.
The six-cover set. PP48356 is linked as a six-piece Taurus X pillar set and has no notes, so the touch pad note appears only on this four-piece listing. Neither names posts or gives widths; compare the galleries to see which posts each reaches.
Call. Quality Automotive Trims is on 877-752-3811. Quote PP48355 and your year, and ask about the touch pad piece if it's unclear.
Decorative. The four dress posts by the side windows. Doors, glass and seals keep working as now. 304 stainless resists corrosion through its alloy, so nothing is plated.
Mounting. You won't need a drill for the Taurus X, and no factory trim has to be unclipped. Every cover, the touch pad piece among them, mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over whatever paint or trim the post carries now. The Installation tab spells out the temperature band to work in and how long the tape must cure.
Prep. Strip wax and polish from every post, and repair chalky, crazed or flaking paint first, because the tape bonds to that coat. Wash with car soap, rinse and dry fully. Wipe each with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloth until a fresh fold shows nothing, and feel for dents.
Supplies. Four covers call for a modest kit: a short roll of low-tack painter's tape for the number tabs and outlines, a soft pencil, a bottle of rubbing alcohol, a bucket of car-soap water and a few clean lint-free cloths.
Fitting. Shade and a calm, dry day. Compare the four with their photos, find the touch pad piece, and tell us about any damage. Number the posts on painter's tape. Liner on, set the first cover in place, adjust until the reveal is even and tape its outline. Peel, set it inside the outline and press firmly along its length and both edges. Check it before the next.
If one won't settle. On the crossover, a cover that rocks across its post or won't lie down shouldn't be pushed. Leave its liner on, lay it on a clean towel and call 877-752-3811 so we can work through it with you. Once the tape has cured, a car-soap wash and a soft towel dry are all the four ask for.

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.
