Product Description
Six-Piece Stainless Pillar Trim for the 1989-1994 Maxima Sedan (PP89541)
For owners of a 1989-1994 Nissan Maxima sedan who want a fuller set of bright pillar covers, PP89541 brings six pieces of mirror-polished 304 stainless steel. It is made in the USA and listed for the 4-door sedan only.
The larger Maxima kit
QAA's other pillar kit for this car is the four-piece PP89540. Both share the same fitment; check the other listing for its finish. Neither has a coverage note, so the data does not say which posts these six covers dress or what the two additional pieces cover compared with the four-piece set. Put the photos side by side, or call and we will describe what you will see.
Why choose six
More pieces mean more bright metal framing the glass. If you are restoring or refreshing a Maxima and want the window line to look clearly finished, six covers give a stronger result than four.
Complete the theme
The same sedan has a DH89540 four-piece door handle accent set and a TH89540 six-piece full rocker kit in QAA's catalog. The rocker kit is described as spanning from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door. Both are sold separately.

On the tape
There is no removal of trim. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle surface. The original pillars stay in place underneath.
Prepping a car of this age
The bond depends on the paint beneath it. Wash the pillars, dry them, and use a wax-free cleaner to remove old polish. If the paint is chalky or peeling in a spot where a cover will sit, fix that first.
Installation
- Pick a dry, temperate day and keep the Maxima in shade.
- Match each of the six covers to its pillar before you start.
- Try every Maxima cover in position with the liner still on.
- Peel, then press along each cover's whole length.
- Fit one Maxima cover, then the next.
- Give the tape a few days before the first wash.
Every step is laid out in full on the Installation tab.
Fitment
Nissan Maxima, 4-door sedan, 1989-1994. The Fitment tab shows the record.
Care
Mild soap, a clean rinse, and a soft towel. Abrasive pads and rubbing compounds will haze the mirror face, so skip them.
Handling
Keep the polished faces on a towel during the job and avoid touching the adhesive once it is exposed. A helper checking alignment from a few steps back makes six pieces easier.
Before you buy
Confirm the model year from the title or registration, and make sure the car is the sedan. If you are restoring a Maxima and plan to fit the rocker kit or door handle trim, consider ordering everything together so the whole job can be planned and done in one session. Prep is the same for each part: clean, dry, wax-free paint.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 6 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.
