Product Description
Ford Explorer 2011-2019 Pillar Post Trim, Four Covers, Keyless Touch Pad Version (PP51330)
PP51330 is a four-cover pillar post set for the Ford Explorer at $67.99, in polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. The record lists one fitment row, Ford Explorer 2011-2019, tagged 4-door, SUV, and one note: "Includes keyless entry touch pad."
Reading the note. The Explorer pillar sets in this record come in two versions. This one and PP51331 (six covers) carry "Includes keyless entry touch pad." PP51332 (four covers) and PP51333 (six covers) carry "Does not include keyless touch pad." The record doesn't explain what the difference looks like on the covers themselves, so we won't describe it from guesswork. Before ordering, look at the gallery for this set and for PP51332, and check whether your own Explorer has a keyless entry touch pad. If it isn't obvious which version you need, call us.
Other linked trim. TH51330 is a six-piece upper rocker panel kit for the same Explorer row. It has its own listing with its own details and isn't part of this order. Neither the pillar sets nor that kit names posts or panels in a way that would let us say more, so the photos are your guide.
Year and help. your records show the model year; the row runs 2011 to 2019. Quality Automotive Trims is on 877-752-3811. Tell us PP51330, the year and whether your Explorer has the touch pad, and we'll go through the photos with you.
What it changes. Only the look of the posts by the side glass. The doors, windows and seals work as before, and the 304 stainless resists corrosion through its alloy rather than a plated layer.
Mounting. On the Explorer, the four covers go on with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, pressed onto whatever paint or trim the posts carry today. Nothing needs drilling and no part of the Ford's trim has to be pried loose or unclipped. Read the Installation tab before you settle on a day, since it sets out the temperatures the tape needs and how long to leave it curing before the first wash.
Prep. Have painter's tape, a pencil, rubbing alcohol, car-soap water and lint-free cloths ready. Remove wax and polish from the four posts and repair any paint that's chalky, crazed or flaking, because the tape bonds to that coat. Wash, rinse and dry, then wipe each post with rubbing alcohol until a fresh fold of cloth stays clean, and feel for dents.
Fitting. Work in shade on a dry, calm day. Compare the four with their photos and report any damage at once. Number each post on tape for its cover. With the liner on, hold the first in place, adjust until the reveal is even and outline it in painter's tape. Peel the liner, set the cover back in the outline and press firmly along its length and both edges. Check it before starting the next one.
If one won't seat, keep the liner on and call 877-752-3811. After curing, a car-soap wash and a soft towel are all the care needed.

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.
