Product Description
Lincoln Continental 2017-2020 Sedan Pillar Trim, 4-Piece Polished Stainless (PP57680)
The Lincoln Continental returned as a full-size luxury sedan, and its long side glass is one of the first things people notice about it. PP57680 is a four-piece set of polished stainless steel covers for the pillars on the 4-door Continental sedan, listed for model years 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. It is the smaller of the two pillar post kits QAA catalogs for this car.
Four pieces or six?
QAA offers this kit and PP57681, a six-piece version for the same sedan. The catalog does not spell out which pillar each piece covers in either kit, and neither carries a coverage note. The practical difference is how much of the window line ends up in steel. The product photos on both listings show the layout, and a quick call can settle any doubt before you order.
What pillar trim does on a Continental
Pillars are the upright body sections between and beside the side windows. On a sedan this size they break up a long run of glass. A polished cover turns each pillar into a deliberate bright accent, which ties in with any chrome already on the car.
Built from solid stainless
Each of the four pieces is made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel and polished to a mirror finish. There is no plating to wear through, because the shine is the metal itself. All four pieces come from the same polished 304 stainless, so the Continental covers share one finish.
Putting it on
The covers attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape of each piece. They go directly over the existing pillar surface, so there is no trim to pull off first. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle surface.
Good prep is what makes tape trim last. Wash the pillars, dry them completely, and wipe away any wax or polish. Hold each piece in place to confirm the fit before you peel the liner. Then press it on firmly along its full length. The Installation tab has the complete sequence.
Fitment
This kit is listed only for the Lincoln Continental 4-door sedan, 2017 through 2020. The Fitment tab shows that application exactly as QAA records it. Please confirm your year before ordering.
Other Continental trim from QAA
If you are dressing up the whole car, QAA also catalogs a 10-piece window trim package, WP57680, that includes upper trim and pillar posts, plus a 4-piece version, WP57681, with upper trim only. There are also a rocker panel kit, body side molding accents, wheel well trim, a rear deck accent, a license plate bezel, and a gas door cover for this sedan. Each is a separate listing.

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.
