Product Description
Lincoln Town Car 1998-2011 Six-Cover Pillar Post Trim (PP38681)
PP38681 dresses the posts of a Lincoln Town Car from the 1998-2011 model years with six covers of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA. The set is $67.99, and its fitment row reads 4-door, Sedan.
Six covers, or the four-cover set? The linked alternative is PP38680, with four covers and the same fourteen-year row. Neither listing says which posts its covers belong to, and neither offers notes or widths. The photos are where the two differ, so line up both galleries and count: six here, four there. Then walk along your Town Car and decide which posts you want in stainless. Six matching that plan points to this page; four points to PP38680. Do this at the car, holding each photo next to the post it seems to fit; a shape that doesn't belong is easy to miss from memory.
The gas door cover. GC38680 is linked as well. It's a one-piece gas door cover, sold separately on its own page, and it isn't one of these six.
Fourteen years, one row. The record doesn't split the span or name any version beyond the four-door sedan. Read it narrowly: a four-door Town Car sedan from 1998 to 2011. Because so many years share the row, use the gallery as your test whichever year you have, and call before ordering if a shape looks wrong for your car. Quality Automotive Trims answers on 877-752-3811; mention PP38681 and the year.
Appearance only. The six covers lie over the posts beside the side windows. The Lincoln's doors, glass and weatherstrip are left alone and keep working as they do. Type 304 stainless resists corrosion by its makeup, so there's no plating involved.
Held by tape. Each cover mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape that adheres to the posts' existing finish. Nothing is drilled and no trim comes off. The Installation tab lists the temperature range and cure time.
Getting six posts ready. Clear off wax and polish; repair anything chalky, crazed or flaking, since the tape can only hold the surface it's pressed onto. Wash with car soap, rinse, dry right through, then wipe each post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths, changing cloths until one comes off spotless.
Kit. Car soap, a bucket, rubbing alcohol, plenty of lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil, with a helper to compare the covers from a distance.
On the day. Pick shade and a dry day with no wind. Count the six against the photos and phone us about anything bent or missing. Arrange them by position as the photos show. Liner on, offer each cover to its post, ease it until the reveal is even, and box it in with painter's tape. Lift the liner, set the cover in its box, and press firmly along its whole length and both edges. Fit the next cover, then move on.
If a cover won't seat. Leave its liner where it is and ring 877-752-3811. After the cure, the six are cleaned with car soap and dried with a soft towel.

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.
