Product Description
Infiniti QX70 2014-2017 Stainless Pillar Post Trim, Four Pieces (PP14045)
PP14045 is a four-piece pillar post set for the Infiniti QX70, model years 2014-2017. Each cover is polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, and the set mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface. The fitment row (Infiniti QX70 2014-2017, 4-door, SUV) and the title agree.
QAA lists two pillar sets for this vehicle, and the choice between them is simple to describe and best settled with photos:
- PP14045, four pieces, no notes (this page)
- PP14046, six pieces, no notes
Neither listing names the pillars it covers, and neither mentions a triangle or mirror piece. Look at both galleries, find the shapes that appear in the six-piece set and not in this one, and decide whether you want them. If four covers the posts you're after, you're done. Plan on one set per QX70; call 877-752-3811 before combining listings.
There are no other QX70 parts on this sheet, so if you're planning more trim for the vehicle, call and ask what else is listed. QAA's number is 877-752-3811; mention PP14045 and your model year.
What a pillar post cover does
Pillar post trim is a thin formed cover that sits over a window pillar, giving the post a polished stainless face. It doesn't change how the doors or glass work; it's an appearance part that rides on top of what's already there. That's also why fit matters so much: the cover has to follow the post it sits on, which is why we keep pointing you to the photos and the year range.
Why polished 304
It's stainless through its whole thickness, with no plating to flake or peel, so a light scuff during handling won't expose a different color. At 26 gauge the covers lie slim against the pillars.
Prep
A clean, dry, bare surface is what tape needs. Hand-wash the pillars with a mild shampoo, rinse, and dry. Wipe each one with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth and let it evaporate. Any wax or ceramic coating where the covers will sit should come off first.
Fitting the four covers
Keep the liners on and hold each cover to a pillar. Look down both edges; when it follows the post without rocking, mark each end with painter's tape and pencil the door on the liner. Once all four are mapped, peel one at a time, set it in its marks and press firmly along its full length and both edges. Fit the next cover and compare from a few steps back. The Installation tab lists the temperature range and cure time.
Timing
A dry day in shade or a garage works best, so the surface is cool and the alcohol dries evenly. A step stool helps with the upper ends, and four covers make this a short job.
Checks
Check it's a QX70 from 2014 to 2017; no other years are on the row. When it arrives, count four covers against the photos. Afterward, mild soap and a soft cloth are all the care it needs.

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.
