Product Description
PP24181 · Six Stainless Pillar Covers · Scion xB 2004-2006
Six polished stainless covers for the pillar posts of the 2004-2006 Scion xB 4-door hatchback. PP24181 costs $84.49 and is made in the USA. Its linked alternative is PP24180, a four-piece set for the same car.
If you're deciding between them, here's the honest picture: neither listing names its pillars, and neither gives a width or a note. The count is the only stated difference. So open both galleries, find the outlines that appear in this six-piece set and not in the four, and imagine them on your xB. Want those areas in polished steel too? Choose this set. Prefer a shorter job? Choose the four. Next to this six-piece xB set, the four-piece photos show what you'd skip. If you'd like a second opinion, call Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 and quote PP24181.
On fitment, the listing is specific: Scion xB, 2004-2006, 4-door, Hatchback. Three model years only. Six covers for an xB from those same three years.
The xB has quite a few other trim listings linked here, from door handle and gas door accents to a grille insert package, rocker panel trim and a rear deck accent, plus WP24180 listed by number. They're all separate products with their own pages.
What you're getting is six covers in 26 gauge 304 stainless, polished to a bright finish. That steel resists corrosion and isn't plated, so a light scuff shows the same metal underneath and there's no coating to peel. Ordinary washing keeps it looking right.
Each cover has 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and goes directly over the existing surface. No drill, no trim removal. Before starting, read the Installation tab for the tape's temperature range and cure time.
The tape is only as good as the finish it sticks to. Look at each post in daylight. If it's faded to a powdery film, shows fine cracks or has an edge lifting, have that repaired first. If it's smooth and firm, a careful clean is all it needs: wash, dry, then wipe with isopropyl alcohol until a fresh lint-free cloth comes away clean.
To fit them, pick a dry, calm day and some shade. Check the six covers against the photos when they arrive and call if any are bent or missing. Sort the six xB covers in the gallery's order. Dry-fit each with its liner on and frame it with painter's tape. Then work through them: peel, place, and press firmly along the length and both edges. After each pair, step back and check the xB's covers. A helper makes the dry fit easier.
Should a cover refuse to sit flat, keep its liner on and phone 877-752-3811. After the cure time, wash with car soap and dry with a soft towel.
Give the job an unhurried session. Marking six positions is the slow part; once they're framed, each cover presses on in moments. Before ordering, take the photos out to the xB and check that 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.
