Product Description
Volkswagen Touareg 2011-2017 Stainless Pillar Post Trim, Four Pieces (PP11640)
PP11640 fits the Volkswagen Touareg from 2011 to 2017, tagged 4-door SUV in the fitment row. It's a set of four pillar post covers cut from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel and made in the USA. The title and row agree on the years, and the sheet shows just one related part: PP11641, a six-piece pillar set for the same Touareg.
So the real decision is four pieces or six. The catalog can't settle it for you, because neither listing has notes and neither names its pillars. What it does give you is photos. Look at both sets, then look at your Touareg's pillars between and beside the side windows. Choose the set whose pieces match the pillars you want in bright metal. If you're not sure whether the four pieces here are also part of the six-piece set, assume you should order one or the other; the data doesn't say they're designed to combine.
Your quick fit check. Touareg, 4-door SUV, model year 2011 through 2017. Your records both show the year. If any of those details don't match your vehicle, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP11640 before you buy.
How it mounts. The pieces mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and go directly over the existing surface. No drilling. Nothing to take off. Quote PP11640 when you phone 877-752-3811 about your Volkswagen Touareg, and have its model year ready.
Preparing the pillars. Wash them with soapy water, rinse, and dry with a clean towel. Then wipe with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth and wait a minute for it to evaporate. If the vehicle has been waxed or coated, take that off where the tape will sit. Fix any chipped or flaking finish before you put trim over it.
Dry-fit, then commit. Hold each piece in place with the liner still on. Compare it with the photos and check that its outline follows the pillar. If it doesn't, try it on another pillar. Once it's right, stick a short strip of painter's tape at each end on the vehicle and write the location on the liner. Peel, place between the marks and press firmly along the length, finishing with a fingertip down both edges.
Weather and cure. The Installation tab lists the temperature range for the tape and the cure time before the first wash. A mild, dry day suits the job best.
Reach. The upper ends of pillars on an SUV can be above comfortable reach for some people. A small step stool lets you see each piece squarely and press it evenly.
Care. Mild soap and water with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and steel wool, which scratch polished steel.
The data is laid out on the Fitment and Specs tabs; for questions, call 877-752-3811 about PP11640.
What to gather. Bucket and sponge, microfiber towels, rubbing alcohol, painter's tape, a marker for the liners and the product photos on a phone. For anything this page leaves open about the Touareg, ring 877-752-3811.

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.
