PP22666: Six Stainless Pillar Covers for the 1999-2004 VW Jetta
PP22666 is the six-piece pillar post set for the 1999-2004 Volkswagen Jetta 4-door sedan: polished 304 stainless, made in the USA, listed at $67.99. Its linked alternative is the four-piece PP22665.
Two things are worth knowing before you choose it.
The first is fitment, because the row is specific and a mismatch would mean sending the set back.
The single row reads Volkswagen Jetta, 1999-2004, 4-door, Sedan, covering six model years. Other years and bodies aren't listed. If you're not sure your Jetta qualifies, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and quote PP22666.
The second is coverage. The listing doesn't say which pillars the six covers dress. There's no note and no width, and the four-piece set is described no better. So we'd suggest a simple test. Open both galleries and compare them shape by shape. Then take this set's photos out to the car and find a panel for each of the six. If they all match, order with confidence. If one doesn't, ask before you buy. Compare this six-piece Jetta gallery with the four-piece one, then choose the set that covers the pillars you want.
How long will it take? Plan on an unhurried session. Most of the time goes into cleaning and marking; once every cover has a taped outline, pressing them down is quick. Rushing the marking stage is the usual cause of a crooked cover.
Beyond that, the details are reassuring. Each cover is 26 gauge 304 stainless steel with a polished face, per the record. The covers fix with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface; no drilling, no trim removal.
The tape does depend on a sound surface, so look at the pillars closely. Finishes that have turned chalky, crazed or loose over the years need repair before fitting. Smooth, firm finishes just need a thorough clean.
The Installation tab sets out the tape's temperature range and cure time. In practice, the job goes like this. Pick a dry, calm day in the shade and gather mild car soap, isopropyl alcohol, plenty of lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil. Lay out the six covers, compare each with the photos, and call if anything is wrong. Wash and dry the pillars, then wipe them with alcohol until a fresh cloth comes away clean. Dry-fit every cover with its liner on, frame it with painter's tape, and pencil its spot on the liner. Then fit them two at a time, peeling, placing and pressing with firm strokes along the full length and edges. Polished stainless steel is the material for all six Jetta covers.
If a cover won't sit flat, leave the liner on and call 877-752-3811. After the cure time, wash with ordinary car soap and dry with a soft towel.
With six pieces, a helper standing back to check the lines is worth having. And it's worth starting with the cover that's easiest to see, since getting it right gives you a reference for the rest.

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.
