Product Description
Jeep Liberty 2008-2012 Four-Cover Pillar Post Trim (PP48070)
Made in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, PP48070 is a four-cover pillar post set for the Jeep Liberty. It's listed for 2008-2012 and priced at $67.99. The fitment record has one row: Jeep Liberty 2008-2012, tagged 4-door, SUV.
That's five model years of the four-door Liberty SUV. A Liberty from 2008 through 2012 takes the four covers. A Liberty built before 2008 or after 2012 isn't in this record, so check with us first if that's your Jeep or you're uncertain.
PP48071 is the linked six-cover Liberty set. Neither listing names the posts, gives widths or carries notes, which leaves the galleries as the comparison. Hold this set's four shapes against the six in PP48071 to see which posts only the larger set reaches.
The Liberty record links several other trims as well, among them GC48070, a one-piece gas door cover, and LB48070, a license bar above the plate noted "With Logo Cut Out." Their own pages give their tags.
Sort the four before you begin: take the photos to the Liberty and hold each beside the post it seems to match. Anything that won't line up is worth a call.
Not sure which post a shape belongs to, or whether the four-piece or the six-piece suits your Liberty better? Ring Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811. Have the listing number PP48070 and the Jeep's model year in front of you, and we'll go through the gallery with you shape by shape before you order or before you start fitting.
These are cosmetic covers for the posts next to the side windows. They don't affect the doors, glass or seals. Corrosion resistance comes from the 304 alloy itself, so there's no plating to peel.
Each cover mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape onto the post's existing paint or trim. The Liberty isn't drilled and no trim is removed. The Installation tab lists the temperature range and cure time.
The tape bonds to whatever coat is on top, so all four posts need to be clean and sound. Strip wax and polish, and repair chalking, crazed or flaking paint. Wash with car soap, rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe each with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloth, refolding until a fresh fold stays clean, and feel for dents.
The job takes low-tack painter's tape, a pencil, rubbing alcohol, a bucket of soapy water and a few lint-free cloths. A step stool gives a clearer view of each post's upper end.
Choose a calm, dry day in shade. Check the four against the gallery and report any damage. Number the posts on painter's tape. With the liner on, place the first cover, ease it until the reveal is even and tape its outline. Peel, set it inside the outline and press firmly from end to end and along both edges. Look it over before the next one.
If a cover rocks or keeps an end raised, stop with its liner on and phone 877-752-3811 instead of pressing harder. After the cure, wash the four with car soap and water and dry with a soft towel.

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.
