PP22871: Six-Piece Pillar Trim for the 2002-2006 Suzuki XL-7
PP22871 brings six polished stainless covers to the pillars of the 2002-2006 Suzuki XL-7 4-door SUV. It's made in the USA and listed at $84.49, and the four-piece PP22870 is the only other XL-7 pillar set on the sheet.
Let's be clear about what the listing tells you, and what it leaves out, because both affect the choice. It gives the fitment row, Suzuki XL-7, 2002-2006, 4-door, SUV. It gives the count, six. It gives the material, 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished, and the mounting, 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface. It doesn't say which pillars the six covers go on, and there's no note or width. The four-piece listing is the same.
That means the photos are how you'll judge it. Compare these six shapes with the four in the other gallery, then go out to the XL-7 and match each one to a panel. If all six have a home, this set suits you. If any doesn't, or your model year is outside 2002-2006, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and quote PP22871. Only one XL-7 set is meant for a vehicle, so ring us before doubling up.
A few practical notes follow from the facts. Because the covers are stainless without plating, there's no coating to peel and nothing special to do afterwards beyond washing. Because they're taped rather than drilled, nothing on the XL-7 is altered, but the tape's hold depends on the finish it sits on. On a vehicle from these years, check each pillar for a powdery, crazed or lifting surface, and have any such areas repaired before fitting. A firm, smooth finish just needs a deep clean.
How long does it take? Allow an unhurried session. Six covers mean six outlines to mark, and that's where most of the time goes. Once every position is framed, pressing them down is quick, and it's hard to go wrong.
The Installation tab has the tape's temperature range and cure time, which take priority. With those in mind, here's the order of work.
Pick a dry, calm day and some shade, and gather mild car soap, isopropyl alcohol, plenty of lint-free cloths, painter's tape, a pencil and a stable step stool if needed. A helper is useful with six covers.
Lay the six covers out and compare each with the photos. Call if anything's bent or missing. Each XL-7 cover, six in all, is polished stainless.
Clean the pillars with soap and water, dry them, and wipe with alcohol until a fresh cloth stays clean.
Dry-fit every cover with its liner on, frame it with painter's tape, and pencil its location on the liner.
Peel, place and press two at a time, with firm strokes along the full length and both edges.
Should one of the XL-7's six covers not sit flat, leave its liner in place and phone 877-752-3811. Once cured, ordinary car soap and a soft towel are the only care the Suzuki's covers need.

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.
