Product Description
Nissan Maxima 2009-2014 Pillar Post Trim, Four Polished Stainless Covers (PP29540)
PP29540 is listed for the Nissan Maxima from 2009-2014, tagged 4-door, Sedan, and holds four polished stainless pillar covers for $56.99. The covers are 26 gauge 304 stainless and made in the USA.
Maxima owners should check the year before anything else. The catalog has pillar sets for earlier Maxima years on separate pages, and none of them is linked to this listing. If your records show a year outside 2009-2014, this isn't your set.
Within these years there's a second linked pillar set, PP29541, with six covers. Neither page names its pillars or gives widths, so pull up both galleries and compare the outlines. Picture each one on your sedan's posts. If these four put polished steel where you'd like it, order here. If the six-cover photos come closer to your idea, order PP29541 instead of this one.
The Maxima page also links a gas door cover trim (GC29540), a license plate bezel (LP29540), rear deck accent (RD29540) and wheel well accent trim (WQ29540). Each is its own listing; none comes in this box.

The covers are an appearance upgrade for the posts between the side windows. The Nissan's doors, glass and seals keep working exactly as before. Grade 304 resists corrosion through its make-up rather than a plated finish.
Holding each one is 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape on its underside, which bonds to the posts' present finish. There are no holes to drill and no trim to take off. The temperature range and cure time are on the Installation tab.
That present finish decides how well the tape holds, so look at the four posts carefully. Wipe a fingertip along each; chalk, a mesh of fine cracks, a corner starting to curl, or a waxy coating all need putting right first. Then wash with car soap, rinse, dry thoroughly, and wipe with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth, taking fresh cloths until one comes away spotless.
Have car soap and a bucket, alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil ready. A friend a few paces from the Maxima can tell you whether the covers sit at the same height.
Pick a dry, windless day in shade. Check the four covers against their photos and ring us about any that are bent or missing. Look at the photos to see where each Maxima cover goes. Keeping the liner on, offer a cover to its post, slide it until the gap all round looks even, and box it in with painter's tape. Peel, set it in the box, and press firmly from end to end and along both edges, then fit the next.
A cover that won't sit flat stays on its liner while you phone 877-752-3811. Once the tape has cured, the covers wash with car soap alongside the paint and dry with a soft towel. Allow an unhurried session, most of it spent on 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.
