Product Description
Jetta Sedan 2011-2017 Four-Piece Polished Stainless Pillar Posts by QAA (PP11666)
PP11666 doubles the coverage of the two-piece Jetta set: four pillar post covers in polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, for the Volkswagen Jetta 4-door sedan from 2011 to 2017. The title and the fitment row agree.
Two or four? The smaller option is PP11665, with two pieces. The catalog lists piece counts only, with no notes naming the pillars in either set, so open both sets of photos and compare. If you want the pillars that go beyond the two-piece set, as the photos show, this is the set. If two pieces cover what you're after, the smaller set is the simpler job. How the two-piece set relates to this one isn't stated, so pick one, not both.
Rest of the sheet. Also listed for this Jetta: TH11665, a two-piece rocker panel trim that installs below the door on the rocker, width 1.25, and WS11665, a six-piece window sill trim set that includes the section in front of the mirror. These cover different parts of the car from the pillars, so they can be planned separately.
Checking your car. Volkswagen Jetta, 4-door sedan, model year 2011 to 2017. PP11666 fits Jettas built in 2011 through 2017. If something doesn't match, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP11666 before ordering.
Mounting. The Jetta's four stainless covers are held by 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, pressed onto the pillars as they are; no holes go into the Volkswagen and no trim comes off.
Getting the surface right. Wash, rinse and dry the pillars. Wipe them with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth and let it flash off. Remove wax, sealant or ceramic coating from the tape area. If the finish is chipped, fix it first.
Placement. On a clean towel, set the four Jetta pieces out in the gallery's order. Offer each to its pillar with the liner on. Once the outline matches, put a short strip of painter's tape at each end and write the location on the liner. If a piece seems off, check it against the photos and try another post before you peel anything.
Pressing. Peel one liner at a time, set the piece between its marks, and press hard from end to end, then along both edges. Compare the covers from a few steps back when you finish. Follow the Installation tab's temperature range and wait the listed cure time before washing.
Tools to gather. Bucket and sponge, microfiber towels, rubbing alcohol, painter's tape, a marker and the product photos on your phone.
Care. Mild soap and a soft cloth keep the polish bright. Skip abrasive pads.
The Fitment and Specs tabs repeat this data.
If you get stuck. Don't peel a piece you're unsure of. Check it against the photos and the other pillar, and if it still won't settle, take a photo of it held in place and call us; it's much easier to fix before the tape touches paint.
Light helps too: glare off glass and polished metal hides small gaps, so judge your margins in open shade.

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.
