Product Description
PP23082 Mercedes C Class Sedan Pillar Covers, Six Polished Pieces, 2001-2007
Want polished posts on your C Class sedan? PP23082 puts six polished stainless covers on the 2001-2007 Mercedes C Class 4-door sedan for $84.49. It's made in the USA and linked to one alternative, the four-piece PP23081.
About that title. It says "Mercedes C Class" and the years, nothing about the body. The fitment tag fills in the rest: 4-door, Sedan. If your C Class has a different body, this listing doesn't cover it. Quality Automotive Trims can check on 877-752-3811 when you quote PP23082.
Six versus four. The data won't say how the six covers differ from the four. There's no pillar list, note or width on either listing. Open this gallery beside the four-piece gallery and note the shapes that only show up here. If you'd like those spots on your sedan in stainless, this is the set. If not, the four-piece is a shorter job. Pick one; call 877-752-3811 if you're weighing two.
Years. Seven of them, 2001-2007. C Class cars of 2001 through 2007 take the six covers.
What pillar trim does. These covers are cosmetic. They sit over the posts between the side windows and change their look, with nothing structural involved. On a sedan, a polished finish there catches the eye against the paint and the glass.
Steel. 26 gauge 304 stainless, polished. Solid metal, no plating, so a light scuff doesn't expose a different layer. Rain and road grime wash off with ordinary soap.
Tape. On the C-Class sedan, each of the four covers attaches with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing posts. Nothing is drilled or removed, and the Installation tab lists temperatures and cure time.
The surface underneath. The bond is only as good as the finish it sits on. Run your hand along each post. A powdery, cracked or loose finish needs fixing first. A firm, smooth one just needs cleaning.
The day. Dry, calm, shaded. Gather mild car soap, isopropyl alcohol, a stack of lint-free cloths, painter's tape and, if you can, a second pair of hands.
The method. Check all six covers against the photos and call if any are bent or short. Wash and dry the posts. Wipe each with alcohol until a fresh cloth comes up clean. Line the six C Class covers up with the gallery. Dry-fit each with its liner on and frame it with painter's tape. Then peel, place and press firmly along the length and both edges, and move to the next cover straight away. Check the C Class lines from a distance after every second cover.
If something's off. Should a Mercedes cover refuse to sit flat, leave its liner on and call 877-752-3811.
Afterwards. When the cure time is up, the C-Class covers need car soap and a soft towel, nothing more.
Time. Give it an unhurried session. Six positions take a while to mark, but each cover presses on in moments.
One last check. Before you order, take the photos out to the car and make sure each of the six shapes has an obvious home.

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.
