Product Description
Mercedes CLS Class 2012-2018 Four-Piece Stainless Pillar Posts with Center Piece and Rear Pillar (PP12075)
PP12075's listing carries a note that tells you something about the pieces: "Includes single center piece and rear pillar." It's a four-piece set for the Mercedes CLS Class 4-door sedan, model years 2012 through 2018, in polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. The title and the fitment row agree.
Reading the note
The note names a single center piece and a rear pillar, and the piece count is four. The catalog doesn't break down how the four pieces divide between those. Rather than guess, we'd point you to the product photos, which show the pieces, and to the phone. If you want to know exactly where each of the four goes before ordering, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP12075. We've flagged the note so it can be made clearer. The CLS covers, all four, are polished stainless.
There are no other CLS parts on this sheet, so there's no larger or smaller pillar set to compare against. That makes this a straight yes or no once you've matched the photos to your car.
Checking your CLS
- Mercedes CLS Class, model years 2012 to 2018, is what the row lists.
- 4-door sedan, the only body tagged on the row.
- The photos match the center and rear pillar areas you want covered.
Mounting
On the 2012-2018 CLS, the four covers mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing pillar surface, with nothing drilled or taken off the Mercedes.
Preparation
Wash the pillars with soapy water, rinse, and dry. Wipe them with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth and give it a minute to evaporate. Coatings, wax and sealant all weaken a tape bond, so remove them from the contact area. If the finish is chipped, repair it first.
Fitting
Because the note singles out a center piece, start by identifying it among the four using the photos. Then hold each piece in position with its liner on. When the outline follows the pillar, mark the ends with painter's tape and write the location on the liner. Peel one at a time, set it between its marks, and press firmly along the length and both edges. Step back and compare the covers. The Installation tab lists the temperature range and cure time; a mild, dry day suits the job.
Care
Mild soap, water and a soft cloth keep the polish bright. Avoid abrasive pads and steel wool.
The Fitment and Specs tabs show the data, including the note.
Before you start
Have a bucket and sponge, microfiber towels, rubbing alcohol, painter's tape, a marker and the product photos on hand. A helper who can stand back and say whether each piece looks level is worth having, especially at the rear pillar. Work in open shade or a bright garage, because glare from glass and polished steel hides small misalignments. If any piece won't line up, stop before peeling, take a photo of it held in place and call us.

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.
