Product Description
Ford C-Max 2013-2018 Pillar Post Trim, Four Stainless Covers (PP53370)
The Ford C-Max gets four polished stainless pillar post covers in PP53370, priced at $56.99. They're cut from 26 gauge 304 stainless steel and made in the USA. The record has one fitment row for the set, Ford C-Max 2013-2018, tagged 4-door, Hatchback, which covers six model years.
Only one other item is linked: PP53371, a six-cover pillar set on the same row. Neither set has a note, names its posts or gives widths, so there's no way to say from the record alone where the two sets differ. The gallery photos are the answer. Open both, stand next to your C-Max and count the posts you'd like to dress, then pick four or six to match. Nothing else is linked to this record, so the two pillar sets are the only C-Max items to weigh up here, and the photos are what to compare.
The C-Max row for four covers starts in 2013 and ends in 2018. If it falls outside 2013 to 2018, the row doesn't cover your car, and it's worth a quick call before you order. Quality Automotive Trims takes calls on 877-752-3811; quote PP53370 and the year, and we'll check the record with you.
The covers change only the look of the posts by the side glass. Doors, windows and weatherstrip keep working as before. Because 304 stainless resists corrosion through its own alloy, there's no plated layer to flake.
On the C-Max, the four are fixed with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape pressed straight onto the post's current paint or trim. You won't drill, and no trim needs to come off the Ford. The Installation tab gives the temperature range for the tape and how long to leave it before the first wash.
Getting the posts ready is the part that pays off most. Start with a wash in car-soap water, then rinse and dry. Next, strip old wax, sealant or polish, and repair any paint that's gone chalky, crazed or flaky, since the tape anchors to that coat. Finish with a degrease: rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloth, folded to a fresh face each time until nothing transfers. Run a fingertip down each post to feel for dents.
Pick a dry, still day and park in shade. Check the four covers against the gallery and let us know straight away if anything arrived damaged. Dry-fit each with its liner on, shuffle it until the border is even all round, and mask the outline with low-tack painter's tape, pencilling a number on each mask. Then, one at a time, pull the liner, set the cover into its mask and press it firmly from end to end and along both edges. Peel the masks off at the end and look the four over from a few steps away.
If one cover won't lie flat, set it on a clean towel with its liner still on and give us a call at 877-752-3811 rather than forcing it. Once the tape has cured, the four need only a car-soap wash and a soft towel.

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.
