Product Description
BMW 7 Series 2009-2015 Pillar Post Trim, Four Polished Stainless Covers (PP29917)
PP29917 is a four-cover pillar set for the BMW 7 Series from the 2009-2015 model years, tagged 4-door, Sedan. It costs $56.99, and every cover is polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA.
The year matters more than usual here. The catalog carries 7 Series pillar sets for earlier years too, on separate pages that aren't linked to this one. A 7 Series outside 2009-2015 isn't listed for PP29917, so read the year off your records before going further. The row names the four-door sedan, so check the body on the paperwork too, and if you're unsure whether the shapes suit your car, compare the photos or ask.
Within these years, the one linked sibling is PP29918, with six covers. Neither page names its pillars or gives a width. Open both galleries and trace each outline onto your BMW's side windows in your mind. If these four shapes are the posts you want polished, order this page. If the six-cover photos come closer to your plan, order PP29918 instead.

The covers are an appearance change for the posts between the side windows. The sedan's doors, glass and seals keep working exactly as before. The 304 grade resists corrosion through its own composition rather than plating.
3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape holds each 7 Series cover in place. The 7 Series is not drilled and none of its trim is removed. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and cure time.
Since the tape grips that present finish, look over all four posts carefully. A chalky bloom that marks a fingertip, a web of hairline cracks, an edge starting to rise, or a film of wax or polish should each be dealt with first. Then wash with car soap, rinse, let everything dry, and wipe each post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths until a fresh cloth shows nothing.
Lay out car soap and a bucket, alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil. A second person a few steps off the BMW can tell you whether each cover lines up.
Choose a calm, dry day and park in shade. Check the four covers against their photos and phone us if any arrive bent or one is missing. For the 7 Series, the images place all four covers. With the liner on, rest a cover on its post, shift it until the reveal looks even, and outline it with painter's tape. Peel, lower the cover into its outline, and press firmly from end to end and along both edges. Fit the next one at once.
If a 7 Series cover sits high at one end, don't press it; leave the liner on and give us a call on 877-752-3811. Once cured, the four go through the sedan's usual wash with car soap and a soft towel. Expect most of the session to go on cleaning the posts.

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.
