Product Description
Infiniti Q45 1997-2001 Pillar Trim, Six Mirror-Polished Stainless Pieces (PP97041)
For the 1997-2001 Infiniti Q45 4-door sedan, QAA catalogs one pillar kit, and this is it. PP97041 is a six-piece set of mirror-polished 304 stainless steel pillar post covers, made in the USA, that installs with 3M tape over the existing surface.
The only pillar option on file
Unlike many cars in the catalog, the Q45 does not have a four-piece alternative here. There are no linked sibling kits on this record at all. That keeps the decision simple: if you want polished pillars on this sedan, PP97041 is the kit to look at.
Years listed
1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001, sedan body only. Anything outside that window is not on this record, so confirm the year on your registration.
What is covered
The record has no coverage note, which means the data does not spell out which posts the six covers go on. The product photos show the shape of each piece. If you want reassurance before ordering, call.
Built from solid stainless
All six pieces are 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror. That finish is the metal, not a plated skin, so there is nothing to lift at the edges.
Adhesive, not hardware
3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape is used. There is no trim to take off. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle surface.
Treat the paint first
A large sedan from this era has usually been waxed and detailed many times. Wash the pillars, let them dry, and remove that build-up with a residue-free cleaner. Look over the paint, and if any area is peeling, repair it before going on.
Putting on six covers
Choose shade and a dry, mild day. Match the Q45 covers to the photos and dry-fit each with its liner attached, using the door frame and glass edge to judge alignment. Peel one liner at a time and press firmly along the full length of the cover. Fit each completely and look at it from a few angles before moving on. Give the tape a few days before the first wash. Every step is in the Installation tab.
Cleaning
Mild soap, a thorough rinse, and a soft towel. No abrasive pads or compounds on the polished face.
Why owners choose it
Polished pillars complement a sedan with clean, formal lines, and because they sit over the original pillars, the change is fully cosmetic.
Handling
Keep the pieces on a soft towel and avoid touching the adhesive. Peel each liner only when its cover is ready to go on.
Before you order
Check the model year and body style on your registration, and compare the photos with your car. If anything looks different from what you expected, call before ordering rather than after; it is much easier to sort out a question first.
What pillar posts are
They are the upright sections of the body between and beside the door windows.

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.
