Product Description
Volkswagen Tiguan 2009-2017 & Tiguan Limited 2017-2018 Pillar Post Trim, Four Covers (PP29650)
The title of PP29650 names the Volkswagen Tiguan for 2009-2017 and the Tiguan Limited for 2017-2018, matching the two rows in the fitment record, and those spans run back to back with one shared year. Both rows are tagged 4-door, SUV. The record doesn't explain how the two rows relate in 2017, when both appear, so a 2017 owner should check which name the paperwork uses and compare the photos with the car.
The set is four polished stainless pillar covers for $67.99, made in the USA from 26 gauge 304 stainless. It's the smallest of four linked Tiguan pillar sets: PP29651 has six covers, PP29652 eight and PP29653 ten, all with the same two rows. None of the four names its pillars, carries a note or gives widths. Work through the galleries, picture each outline on your SUV, and order the page whose pieces match the posts you want in bright steel. If these four shapes match your plan, order here; if another gallery fits your plan, order that one.
Any doubt about the rows, the year or the count is a quick call to Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811. Quote PP29650.
The covers are cosmetic, slim polished panels over the posts between the side windows. The Volkswagen's doors, glass and seals are left as they were. Grade 304 resists corrosion on its own rather than by plating.
On the Tiguan, each of the four covers bonds to the post's current paint or trim through the 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape on its underside. No hole is drilled in the SUV and none of its trim comes away. Before you settle on a day, read the temperature range and the cure time on the Installation tab.
That bond is limited by the finish, so check the four posts first. A chalky trace, a network of fine cracks, an edge starting to lift or a waxy coat should be put right. Wash with car soap, rinse, dry thoroughly, and wipe each post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths until a fresh one comes away clean.
Have car soap, a bucket, alcohol, cloths, painter's tape and a pencil ready, and ask a helper to judge the lines from a few steps off the Tiguan's side.
On a calm, dry day in shade, check the four covers against their photos and call us about any that are bent or missing. Use the Tiguan images to place each cover. Liner on, rest a cover against its post, ease it until the reveal is even, and outline it in painter's tape. Peel, lower it into the outline, press firmly along its length and both edges, and fit the next.
Any Tiguan cover that seesaws on its post goes back on the bench, liner intact, and you give us a ring on 877-752-3811. After the cure, it's ordinary car-soap washing and a soft towel from then on. Most of the session is 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.
