Product Description
Ford Focus 2008-2011 Sedan Four-Cover Pillar Post Trim (PP48345)
PP48345 is a four-cover pillar post set for the Ford Focus sedan. Listed for 2008-2011 at $56.99, it's made in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel. The fitment record has one row: Ford Focus 2008-2011, tagged 4-door, Sedan.
Four model years of the four-door Focus sedan are covered. Focus cars from 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 are on the row. A Focus from outside 2008 to 2011, or with a different body, isn't part of this record, so ring us first if unsure.
The Focus has two larger linked pillar sets, PP48346 with six covers and PP48347 with eight. None of the three names its posts, lists widths or carries notes. Open the three galleries side by side to see how far around the side glass each one goes.
A long list of other Focus trim shares these links, including MC48346, a two-piece mirror cover set, and DH48345 and DH48346, two eight-piece door handle sets. Each page carries its own tags.
Before peeling anything, take the four photos out to the sedan and match each picture to its post.
Three pillar sets for one Focus can make the choice feel bigger than it is. A call to Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 usually settles it. Read us PP48345 from the listing, tell us the year, and we'll look at the four photos alongside the six- and eight-piece galleries with you.
All four are cosmetic, covering posts beside the side windows. The doors, glass and seals go on working exactly as before. 304 stainless resists corrosion by virtue of its alloy, with no plated layer.
Each cover mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape onto its post's existing paint or trim. You won't drill the Focus or take off any trim. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and cure time.
The four posts need a clean, sound surface. Remove wax and polish, and repair any chalky, crazed or flaking paint, because the tape bonds to that coat and no deeper. Wash with car soap, rinse and dry fully. Then wipe each with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloth, refolding until a fresh fold shows nothing, and feel for dents.
Nothing elaborate is required for four covers. Keep a short roll of low-tack painter's tape and a soft pencil in one pocket; set a bottle of rubbing alcohol, a bucket of car-soap water and three or four clean lint-free cloths on the ground beside the front door of the Focus.
Wait for a dry, calm day and park in shade. Check the four against their photos and tell us about any damage. Number each post on painter's tape. Liner on, set the first cover on its post, move it until the reveal is even and tape its outline. Peel, place it back inside the outline and press firmly from end to end and along both edges. Check it before the next.
If one of the four lifts at a corner or rocks on its post, keep its liner on and phone 877-752-3811 rather than forcing it down. Once the tape has cured, car soap, water and a soft towel keep them clean.

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.
