Product Description
Mercedes C Class Sedan 2015-2020 Pillar Post Trim, Four Pieces, C300 and C400 Only (PP15081)
The title of PP15081 says 2015-2020 Mercedes C Class C300, C400, and the fitment row carries the same restriction: next to 4-door and Sedan it's tagged "C300" and "C400 only." So the catalog lists this four-piece set for C300 and C400 sedans in that span, not every C Class.
Checking your model designation
Your C300 or C400 needs a model year between 2015 and 2020. If it's a C300 or C400 sedan from 2015 through 2020, you're on the row. If it's any other C Class model, or another body style, this row doesn't list it, and we'd ask you to call 877-752-3811 with PP15081 before ordering. The catalog doesn't explain why other models are left out, so we won't guess.
The set itself
Four covers in polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. They attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface, so there's no drilling and nothing to remove. Polished 304 has no plating to flake, and the 26 gauge sheet keeps each cover slim on its pillar.
Four or six
The other C Class pillar set on this sheet is PP15082, six pieces, carrying the same "C300, C400 only" tags. Neither listing has notes, names its pillars or mentions a triangle piece. Look at both galleries and see which shapes appear in one but not the other, then choose a single set. Go with one C Class set; the photos show what each covers, and we can confirm on 877-752-3811.
Preparing the pillars
Wash with a pH-neutral car shampoo, rinse until no soap remains, and dry with microfiber. Follow with isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth and let it evaporate. If the paint is waxed or coated, remove that layer where the covers will sit, because tape bonds to what's on top.
Fitting
Test each cover with its liner on, lining it up until the edges look even along the post, and tab the ends with painter's tape. Write the door on the liner. When all four are mapped, peel and press one at a time, firmly from end to end and along both edges. Step back to compare. The Installation tab lists the temperature range and cure time.
Conditions
Dry weather and shade or a garage, a cool panel and a step stool for the upper ends. A hot surface or damp air works against the tape, and a cool one lets the alcohol flash off evenly. A helper standing a few paces back can confirm each cover looks level before its liner comes off.
Tools
For the C300 or C400: a bucket, car shampoo, microfiber towels, rubbing alcohol, a lint-free cloth, painter's tape and a liner marker.
On arrival
Count four covers against the photos. If one won't sit flat, keep its liner on, try it on a different pillar, and call Quality Automotive Trims if it still won't settle. Clean afterward with car soap 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.
