Product Description
Six Polished Pillar Covers for the 1999-2005 Passat 4-Door Sedan (PP99676)
PP99676 is the six-piece sedan kit in QAA's Passat pillar lineup for model years 1999 to 2005. It carries six mirror-polished 304 stainless steel covers, made in the USA, each with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape ready to apply.
Easy to confuse with the wagon kit
Two six-piece pillar kits exist for this Passat run, and they are not the same listing. This one, PP99676, is recorded for the 4-door sedan. PP99677 is recorded for the 4-door wagon. The four-piece PP99675 is a second sedan option. Since the titles read almost alike, confirm your body style before you check out.
Quick facts

- Years: 1999 through 2005

Six versus four on the sedan
The catalog has no coverage note for either sedan kit, so it does not identify where this kit's two further covers sit compared with PP99675. The photos are the most reliable comparison. We would rather say so plainly.
Fuel door, too
QAA links GC99675, a one-piece gas door cover, to this sedan. It is sold on its own page.
No permanent changes
These Passat covers sit over the existing surface, and the original trim stays on. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle surface.
Why solid stainless
The mirror finish is polished into the steel, not plated on. There is nothing to wear through, and the six pieces keep a uniform tone.
Getting ready
Wash the pillars, dry them, and strip wax with a residue-free cleaner. Repair any paint that is flaking. Then lay the six covers out on a soft towel, match them to the photos, and dry-fit each one with the liner on so you know where it belongs.
Installation
On a mild, dry day in shade, peel one liner at a time, align the cover with the door frame, and press firmly from one end to the other. Fit each completely and inspect it from a few steps back. Then match the next cover to it. Hold off on washing for a few days. The Installation tab has the full instructions.
Placement
The first cover is the reference for the rest. Use the door edge and window corner as guides and take your time with it.
Upkeep
Mild soap, water, and a soft towel. Avoid abrasive pads.
Why six on a Passat
For sedan owners who want the fullest bright frame QAA lists around the side glass, six covers is the larger choice.
What pillar posts are
The pillar posts are the vertical body sections that frame each side window. On the Passat sedan they show as narrow bands beside the glass. Six polished covers turn those bands into bright accents, and the factory pillars underneath are left as they are.

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.
