Product Description
Mercedes C Class 2008-2011 Pillar Trim, Four Pieces: PP28081
PP28081 is a four-piece set of polished stainless pillar covers for the Mercedes C Class sedan from 2008-2011. The record tags it 4-door, Sedan. It's $67.99, and the covers are made in the USA from 26 gauge 304 stainless steel.
The fitment span is four model years, and the title agrees with the record. The span is short, so look at the year in your paperwork before you order. The listing names the sedan only, so a C Class with any other body, or one from outside 2008-2011, isn't covered. In either case, call Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 and quote PP28081.
A six-piece set, PP28082, is linked for the same sedan and costs more. Neither listing says which pillars its covers fit or how wide they are, so the photographs are what you have to go on. Open both galleries and compare the shapes with the posts on your car. If four covers already put polished steel where you want it, there's no need to spend more. Buy one listing.
The covers are a matter of looks. Each one is a slim polished panel that sits on a post between the side windows, while the doors, glass and seals carry on as before. The record lists the material as Grade 304 stainless, and regular washing keeps it clean.
They attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface. No drilling is required and no trim has to come off. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and cure time.
Take a close look at each post before you begin. Any wax, a chalky or dulled finish, a crack or a lifting edge will undermine the bond, because the tape grips whatever surface is there. Correct those, then wash with car soap, dry thoroughly, and wipe every post with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth.
Once the parcel arrives, set out the four covers and compare them with the gallery. Phone if one is bent or missing. The C Class images show where the four covers go. Hold each in place with the backing on and draw around it in painter's tape, then look along the car from front and back to confirm that the covers match. Peel and press one cover at a time, firmly along the full length and both edges.
If a cover won't sit flush, leave its backing on and ring 877-752-3811. Pick a dry, mild day in the shade, and keep the C Class out of rain until the cure time on the Installation tab has passed. After that, wash the covers with the rest of the car.
A last check before you buy: open this gallery beside your sedan and give each of the four shapes a post. If any seems wrong, call first; it's simpler than a return, and the year and body questions can be settled in the same call. The team at Quality Automotive Trims can talk through the C Class with you.

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.
