Product Description
Four-Piece Pillar Post Trim for the 2018-2026 Volkswagen Jetta (PP18665)
PP18665 gives the 2018-2026 Volkswagen Jetta 4-door sedan four polished stainless pillar covers for $67.99. It's the smallest of three linked Jetta sets. PP18666 has six covers, and PP18667 has eight, with the note "Includes small rear triangle". That note belongs to the eight-piece set only. Nothing on this listing mentions a triangle, so don't expect one in this box.
Your first check is the fitment row: Volkswagen Jetta, 2018-2026, 4-door, Sedan. That's nine model years on one row. If your Jetta's year sits outside it, or you can't confirm the body, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and quote PP18665.
Your second check is the count. Apart from the triangle note on the eight-piece set, none of the three Jetta listings describe their covers. There's no width and no pillar names. Look at the four shapes in this gallery, then at the six-piece gallery, and see whether any outlines appear there and not here. If the four give the look you want, this is the quickest set to fit. If not, one of the other two may suit you better. One Jetta set is what's intended; ring 877-752-3811 before combining.
Material and mounting are simple. Each cover is 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished, made in the USA, with the shine coming from the steel itself rather than plating. They fix with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface, so nothing is drilled and no trim comes off.
To fit them, plan for a dry day and a shaded spot, and read the Installation tab for the tape's temperature range and cure time. Count four covers out of the box and check them against the photos; call if any are bent or missing. Wash the pillar faces with mild car soap, rinse and dry, then wipe each with isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth and let it evaporate. Remove any wax or ceramic coating where the tape will sit.
Why choose four? A smaller set means fewer covers to align, less tape to press and less to go wrong on the day. The most important check, though, is the year and body, so confirm those first and let the photos settle the count. Your records show the model year, and the listing names only the 4-door sedan body.
Compare each Jetta cover with the listing photos. Hold each one in position with its liner still on, check that both edges follow the pillar, and mark its outline with painter's tape. Peel the liner, set the cover on the marks, and press firmly along its length and both edges. Then fit the next cover and step back to compare before doing the last two. The four are polished stainless.
A cover that won't sit flat should keep its liner on while you call 877-752-3811. Don't wash the Jetta until the cure time has passed. From then on, ordinary car soap and a soft towel keep the polish bright.

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.
