Product Description
Infiniti QX56 / QX80 and Nissan Armada Pillar Post Trim, 4 Stainless Pieces (PP11053)
The title of PP11053 names the 2011-2013 Infiniti QX56, the 2014-2024 Infiniti QX80 and the 2017-2024 Nissan Armada, but the rows behind those spans don't all agree with each other, and that is the first thing to understand about this four-piece polished stainless pillar set. Here is every row exactly as the catalog lists it, all tagged 4-door SUV:
- Infiniti QX56, 2011-2013
- Infiniti QX80, 2014-2020
- Infiniti QX80, 2014-2024
- Nissan Armada, 2017-2020
- Nissan Armada, 2017-2024
Reading the overlapping rows
The QX80 and the Armada each appear twice with different end years. The years every row agrees on are QX80 2014 through 2020 and Armada 2017 through 2020. For a QX80 or Armada newer than 2020, one row includes it and the other doesn't, so we can't give you a clean answer from the catalog. Please call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP11053 and your exact model and year before ordering.
What to have ready when you call
Have ready your vehicle's make and model as shown, the model year and, if you can, a straight-on photo of the side windows and pillars. With those, we can check the part against your vehicle rather than guessing from overlapping rows. Your records also shows the model year, which can help. If the QX56 rows leave you unsure, 877-752-3811 is the number.
The set
Four pieces of 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished, made in the USA. They mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, installed directly over the existing surface, so there's no drilling. Still deciding on the QX56 set? We'll go over it with you on 877-752-3811. The six- and eight-piece sets, PP11054 and PP11055, share these rows; since the record doesn't name the pillars, their photos show what the further pieces cover.
Prep
Wash the pillars with soapy water, dry them, and wipe with rubbing alcohol until a clean cloth stays clean. Let it evaporate. Strip any wax or sealant from the contact area and repair chipped or peeling finish before trim goes on.
Install
With the product photos open, hold each piece to its pillar with the liner on and confirm the fit against the pillar's edges. Label the liner and mark the ends on the vehicle with painter's tape. Peel one at a time, set it to the marks, and press firmly along the full length, then run a fingertip down both edges. Look over the set when all four are on. Install on a dry day inside the Installation tab's temperature range and wait the listed cure time before washing.
If a piece seems wrong
Leave the liner on. Recheck the photos for its position, and call 877-752-3811 if it still won't sit. If it still won't line up, call us with a photo before you peel anything.
Care
Mild soap and water and a soft cloth. Avoid steel wool and abrasive pads, and wipe glass cleaner off the stainless when you do the windows. Keep PP11053 handy for the call. The QX56 pillar trim is pictured on this page.

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.
