PP21086: Six Stainless Pillar Covers for the 2000-2006 Mercedes S Class
PP21086 is the six-piece pillar post set for the 2000-2006 Mercedes S Class 4-door sedan, made from polished 304 stainless in the USA and listed at $84.49. The four-piece PP21085 is the only other S Class pillar set on the sheet.
The listing gives you four facts. The car: Mercedes S Class, 2000-2006, 4-door, Sedan, seven model years on a single row. The count: six covers. The material: 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished. The mounting: 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface. What it doesn't give is any description of the covers themselves. No note, no width, no list of pillars, and the four-piece listing is no different.
That leaves the galleries to do the explaining. Compare these six shapes with the four-piece set's photos and note any outline that appears here alone. Then stand beside your S Class and match each shape to a panel. If every one has a home, this is your set. If not, or if your year or model doesn't match the row, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and quote PP21086 before ordering. Pick the six-piece S Class set if its photos show what you want, and call 877-752-3811 to confirm.
The steel is bright on its own, with no chrome plate to wear off. The tape means you won't drill anything or remove any of the car's trim, and ordinary washing keeps the polish bright.
That same tape is why the condition of the pillars matters. It bonds to the finish already there. On a car from these years, check each pillar for a powdery, crazed or lifting surface. Have any such areas repaired before fitting, or call for advice. A firm, smooth finish just needs a thorough clean.
How to fit six covers
Start with the Installation tab, which sets out the tape's temperature range and cure time. Then set aside a dry, mild day and a shaded spot, with mild car soap, isopropyl alcohol, a good supply of lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil.
Lay the six covers on a towel and compare each with the photos. A bent or missing piece means a call before you clean.
Wash the pillar faces, rinse and dry them. Wipe each with isopropyl alcohol, switching to a clean cloth every time one picks up residue, until a fresh cloth stays spotless. Let the alcohol evaporate.
Hold each cover in place with the liner on, find where the edges sit naturally, and mark round it with painter's tape. Write the position on the liner in pencil. Mark all six before you peel anything.
Then fit two at a time. Peel, place inside the marks, and press with smooth, firm strokes from end to end and along both edges. Fit the next cover straight after and step back to compare.
If a cover won't settle, keep its liner on and phone 877-752-3811. After the cure time, wash with ordinary car soap and 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.
