Product Description
Lincoln Town Car 2000-2002 L-Stretch Pillar Post Trim, Six Covers (PP40688)
PP40688 is a six-cover pillar set for the Lincoln Town Car L-Stretch of 2000-2002, and its fitment row is tagged 4-door, L-Stretch. The title carries the L-Stretch name too, so the restriction is in plain view. The set is $111.99, in polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA.
Read the row as written: a four-door Town Car carrying the L-Stretch name, from those three years. L-Stretch is the only body named, and the listing doesn't explain the term beyond the tag. If your paperwork doesn't show L-Stretch, or you're not certain what it shows, call before ordering rather than guessing.
The linked eight-cover set, PP40689, has the same row and the same tag. Neither listing has notes, names its posts or gives widths, so the galleries show the difference between six and eight. Match the shapes in each to the posts on your Town Car. If the six here suit what you'd like in polished steel, order this page; if the eight-cover photos do, order PP40689.

The covers are for appearance. Each one sits over a post beside the side glass, and the Lincoln's doors, windows and seals work as before. Grade 304 stainless resists corrosion through its alloy rather than plating.
Each of the six mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, sticking to the paint or trim the posts have now. No drilling, and no trim comes off. The Installation tab lists the temperature range and the cure time.
The six posts need to be ready. Clean off wax and polish, and repair chalky, crazed or lifting finish, since the tape takes hold of that surface. Wash with car soap, rinse, dry completely, and wipe each post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths until a fresh one shows no trace. Look for dents or old repairs at the same time.
For the L-Stretch set, have car soap and a bucket, rubbing alcohol, a good stack of lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil. A helper standing back by the curb can tell you whether each cover looks square on its post.
Choose a still, dry day in shade. Count the six against the photos and call us about anything bent or missing, then match every cover to the post its photo shows. Liner on, hold a cover to that post, slide it until the reveal is even, and frame it in painter's tape. Peel, seat it in the frame, and press firmly from end to end and down both edges. Step back, compare it with the gallery, and only then move on to the next.
Any Town Car cover that rocks, bridges a gap or stands proud should keep its liner while you phone 877-752-3811 so we can look at it together. After the cure time, wash the six with car soap and pat them dry 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.
