PP23061: Six Pillar Covers for the 2003-2009 Mercedes E Class Sedan
PP23061 is the six-piece polished stainless pillar post set for the 2003-2009 Mercedes E Class 4-door sedan, priced at $84.49 and made in the USA. It's linked to the four-piece sedan set, PP23060.
Check the body first. The title only says "Mercedes E Class", and the catalog has separate E Class pillar sets for the wagon with very similar titles. What tells them apart is the body tag on the fitment row. This one reads Mercedes E Class, 2003-2009, 4-door, Sedan. If you drive the wagon, look for the sets tagged 4-door Wagon instead. If you're unsure, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and quote PP23061.
Then the year. The sedan row covers 2003-2009, seven model years. For the six-piece E Class set, your car must date from 2003 through 2009.
Then the count. The listing doesn't say which pillars the six covers dress, and it has no note or width. The four-piece listing is equally bare. Compare the two galleries, find the shapes that appear only here, and match all six to your E Class. If each has a place, this is the set to buy. If not, ask first. Compare both E Class galleries before ordering a second listing.
The purpose. Pillar covers are a cosmetic finish for the posts between the side windows. They change how the car looks and do nothing structural. Six polished covers make a bright line around the sedan's glass.
The steel. 26 gauge 304 stainless, polished. The finish is the metal itself, so it won't flake or peel.
The tape. The E Class sedan's six covers each mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape laid on the existing post finish. Nothing is drilled and no Mercedes trim comes off; the Installation tab gives temperatures and cure time.
The surface. Because the tape grips the current finish, check each pillar. Powdery, cracked or lifting areas need repair before fitting. A firm, smooth finish only needs a thorough clean.
The setup. A dry, calm day in the shade, with mild car soap, isopropyl alcohol, plenty of lint-free cloths, painter's tape, a pencil and a helper if possible.
The method. Lay the six covers out and compare each with the photos, calling if anything's wrong. Wash and dry the pillars, then wipe with alcohol until a fresh cloth stays clean. Dry-fit each cover with its liner on, frame it with painter's tape, and pencil its spot on the liner. Fit two at a time, pressing with firm strokes along the full length and edges. Stand back after every couple of E Class covers.
The check. Before peeling the last two, look at all four placed covers from a few steps back to confirm the lines match.
The fallback. Should one not lie flat, leave the liner in place and ring 877-752-3811.
The care. When the cure time has passed, the six E Class covers wash with ordinary car soap and dry with a soft towel.
The timing. Allow an unhurried session. Marking six positions takes the longest; pressing them is quick.

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.
