Product Description
Volkswagen Atlas 2018-2026 Pillar Post Trim, 4 Pieces (PP19650)
PP19650 is a set of four polished stainless pillar covers for the 2018-2026 Volkswagen Atlas 4-door SUV, listed at $73.49. Its title carries an important restriction: "(*3rd row only-No Fit Cross Sport*)". In other words, the listing says this set does not fit the Atlas Cross Sport, and it's marked for the 3rd-row Atlas only.
Read the restriction carefully
There's a small inconsistency worth knowing about. On this set, the restriction appears in the title, but the fitment row itself just reads Volkswagen Atlas, 2018-2026, 4-door, SUV, without it. On the linked six, eight and ten-piece sets, the same restriction is written into the row as well. We'd treat it as applying here too, since it's in the title. If you own an Atlas Cross Sport, this isn't listed for it. If you aren't sure which Atlas you have, check your records or call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and quote PP19650 before ordering.
The other Atlas sets
Three more Atlas pillar sets are linked: PP19651 with six covers, PP19652 with eight and PP19653 with ten. None carries a note, a width or a list of pillars, and neither does this one. The count is the only difference stated, so the photos are your guide. Compare this gallery with the larger sets' galleries, look for outlines that appear there and not here, and match them to your Atlas. Four covers is the shortest job. Choose one Atlas set; its photos show the coverage, and 877-752-3811 can confirm.
Material and mounting
Each cover is 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished and made in the USA. The finish is the bare metal, so there's no plating to flake. The covers attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface: no drilling and no trim removal. The Installation tab lists the tape's temperature range and cure time.
Plain washing is all the upkeep the steel needs once it's on.
Fitting the four covers
Choose a dry, mild day and work in the shade. Have mild car soap, a sponge, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths and painter's tape ready.
Count four covers on a towel and compare each with the photos. Call if anything is bent or missing.
Wash the pillar faces, rinse and dry. Wipe each with isopropyl alcohol and let it evaporate; remove any wax or ceramic coating where tape will sit.
For the Atlas, compare the four covers with the product images first. Hold each one up with its liner on until the edges line up, then frame it with painter's tape. Peel, lower the cover into its frame and press steadily from end to end and along both edges. Fit the next cover so the two can be compared, then do the last two.
A stable step stool helps if the Atlas's upper edges are hard to see from the ground. If a third-row cover won't sit flat, keep its liner on and ring 877-752-3811. Once cured, ordinary car soap and a soft towel keep the four covers clean.

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.
