Product Description
Lincoln MKC 2015-2019 Pillar Post Trim, 4-Piece Polished Stainless (PP55640)
Lincoln built the MKC as a compact luxury SUV, and from 2015 to 2019 it carried a 4-door body with distinct pillar posts between the side windows. PP55640 is the entry point among QAA's pillar kits for that vehicle: four pieces of polished stainless steel that cover the posts with a bright finish while keeping the job simple.
If you have never shopped for this kind of part, pillar posts are the vertical strips of body between and around the door glass. Covering them in polished steel gives each window opening its own bright outline. A steel cover breaks that band up and outlines each window with a clean line of shine.
The smallest of three MKC pillar sets
QAA catalogs three pillar kits for the 2015-2019 MKC. This one has four pieces. PP55641 has six, and PP55642 has ten. The catalog does not spell out which posts each kit covers, so the product photos are your best guide. As a general rule, more pieces means more of the pillar area is finished in steel. Owners who want a subtle accent tend to start with four; owners who want the whole window line framed look at the larger kits. If you are torn between them, a quick call can save you a return.
Built from 304 stainless
All four pieces are made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel. QAA polishes the surface to a mirror shine, which suits the brightwork Lincoln already uses on the MKC. The shine is in the steel itself, not a plated layer on plastic.
Installation without tools that cut
Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and goes on directly over the MKC's existing pillar surface. No factory trim has to come off for the install. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the surface it is stuck to. Clean, dry panels and patient alignment are what make the result look right, and the Installation tab walks through the steps in order.
More QAA trim for the MKC
This SUV has a deep catalog at QAA. Alongside the pillar kits you will find a 6-piece body side molding accent (AT55640), a brake light surround (BL55640), a gas door cover (GC55640), a license plate bezel (LP55640), a 6-piece body molding insert kit (MI55640), a rear deck accent (RD55640), and a 6-piece upper rocker panel kit (TH55640). Buying pieces from the same maker keeps the finish consistent across the vehicle.
Confirm your MKC
This kit is listed only for the 4-door MKC SUV, model years 2015 through 2019. The Fitment tab shows the application as QAA catalogs it, and the Specs tab lists the UPC, 691821603732, along with the material and piece count. For help choosing between the four-, six-, and ten-piece sets, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811.
One more practical note. Four pieces is the most manageable set in this family for a first-time installer, since there are fewer pieces to align and fewer edges to check. If you later decide you want more coverage, the larger kits are separate listings with their own part numbers.

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.
