Product Description
Mitsubishi Galant 2009-2012 Pillar Post Trim, Four Polished Stainless Covers (PP29001)
PP29001 puts four polished stainless covers on the window pillars of a Mitsubishi Galant from the 2009-2012 model years. The fitment row is tagged 4-door, Sedan, and the set sells for $67.99. Each cover is cut from 26 gauge 304 stainless and made in the USA.
The Galant has one other pillar listing linked here, PP29002, with six covers for the same sedan and years. Neither page names the pillars its pieces belong to or gives a width, so the comparison happens in the galleries. Look at every outline and picture it along your Galant's side windows. If these four shapes put bright steel where you want it, order this page; if the six-cover photos match better, order PP29002 instead.
Four model years are covered. Your records show yours; if it falls outside 2009-2012, or the car isn't the four-door sedan the row describes, this listing isn't for it. Questions about fit go to Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811, quoting PP29001.
What the covers do is change how the posts look. Each slim panel lies over a post between the side windows, and the Galant's doors, glass and seals work exactly as before. Grade 304 stainless resists corrosion by its own make-up rather than through a plated layer, so a light scuff shows more of the same steel. Wash the covers with car soap whenever the sedan gets washed.
Every cover mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, which bonds to the posts' present finish. Nothing is drilled into the Mitsubishi and no trim gets unclipped. The temperature range and cure time are on the Installation tab.
Because the tape holds to whatever surface each post has now, check all four with a fingertip and a close look. A powdery bloom, fine cracks, a lifting edge, or a coat of wax or polish should be dealt with first. Then wash, rinse, dry right through, and wipe each post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths until a fresh one comes back clean.
Set out a bucket, car soap, rubbing alcohol, several lint-free cloths, a roll of painter's tape and a pencil. A second person standing a few paces off the Galant is useful for judging whether each cover sits level.
Wait for a dry, still day and park in shade. Unwrap the four covers, hold each beside its gallery photo, and call if one arrives bent or one is missing. Hold the four Galant covers up to the photos. With the backing still on, rest a cover on its post, slide it until the gap around it looks even, and frame it with painter's tape. Peel the backing, lower the cover into its frame, and press firmly from end to end and down both edges. Fit the next cover straight away, then walk to the front of the car and compare.
If a cover rocks or won't lie flat, leave its backing on and ring 877-752-3811 before pressing it down. Once the cure time has passed, wash and towel the covers along with the paint. The job is an unhurried session, and most of it is cleaning.

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.
