Product Description
Ford Taurus & Mercury Sable 2000-2007 Pillar Post Trim, Six Covers (PP40661)
PP40661's title and fitment record list the Ford Taurus and the Mercury Sable, both for 2000-2007 and both tagged 4-door, Sedan. So the Sable sedan of those years is part of this listing just as the Taurus is. The set is six polished stainless pillar covers at $67.99, made in the USA from 26 gauge 304 stainless.
No other listing is linked here, so there's no smaller or larger Taurus or Sable set on this page to compare. The record has no notes, doesn't name the posts and gives no widths, which leaves the gallery to show where the six covers go. Count the shapes and match each to a post on your car. If they all find homes on posts you'd like polished, this set suits you. Hold each photo up next to the post you think it fits; a shape without a home stands out quickly that way.
Both rows treat eight model years as one span. The listing doesn't divide them, so the photo check applies to any year in range, Ford or Mercury. If a shape doesn't seem to fit, or your records show a body other than the four-door sedan, call Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 with PP40661, the make and the year.
The six covers are decorative. Each one lies over a post beside the side glass, and the doors, windows and seals keep working as they do. Type 304 stainless resists corrosion through its composition, not a coating.
Taurus or Sable, the six covers are there for looks only. Each sits on a post next to the side windows and leaves the doors, glass and weatherstrip to work as normal. Grade 304 stainless holds off corrosion because of what the alloy is, rather than any plated finish.
Six posts need a sound surface. Strip wax or polish, and repair chalky, crazed or flaking finish, because the tape holds to that layer directly. Wash with car soap, rinse, let everything dry, then wipe each post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths, swapping cloths until one stays white. Look for dents or old repairs as you go.
Gather car soap, a bucket, rubbing alcohol, plenty of lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil, and ask someone to stand back and judge the six covers.
Work in shade on a dry, calm day. Count the six against the photos and phone us about anything bent or missing. The gallery shows where each Taurus cover sits. With the liner on, set each cover to its post, adjust until the gap is even, and trace it with painter's tape. Lift the liner, place the cover in the tracing, and press firmly along its length and both edges. Fit the following cover next.
If one of the six rocks, bridges or stays proud at a tip, don't lean on it; keep the liner attached and call us on 877-752-3811. Once cured, the covers are washed along with the Ford or Mercury, car soap and water, then 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.
