Six or four?
The table says what the listing says, and it doesn't include pillar names, widths or notes. Neither does the four-piece listing. So the decision rests on the photos. Put the two galleries side by side and find the outlines that only this set shows. Picture them on your Maxima. If you'd like those areas finished in stainless, this is your set. If not, PP24540 is the simpler job. Just one Maxima set is intended; ring us before a second listing goes in the order. Quality Automotive Trims can help you decide on 877-752-3811.
Check the year
The row covers five model years, 2004-2008. An earlier Maxima pillar set exists in the catalog for other years, not linked to this one, so be sure of your year.

The surface comes first
The foam tape bonds to the finish already on the posts. Inspect each one. A chalky or powdery film, fine cracks or a lifting edge needs repair before fitting. A smooth, firm post just needs cleaning: wash, dry, then wipe with isopropyl alcohol until a fresh lint-free cloth comes away clean. The Installation tab gives the tape's temperature range and cure time.
What you'll need
Mild car soap and a bucket of water, isopropyl alcohol, a good stack of lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil for marking the liners. A second person is useful for holding covers during the dry fit and judging the lines from a few steps back, especially for the last few posts.
Why stainless
304 stainless resists corrosion and keeps a polish without plating, so there's no layer to peel. Soap and water keep it bright. The covers are cosmetic and leave the car's structure untouched.
Fitting six
Choose a dry, calm day and park in the shade. Compare each cover with the photos as you unpack it and call if one is bent or missing. With the gallery open, put the six Maxima covers in the order they'll go on. Dry-fit each with its liner on and frame it with painter's tape. Then fit them two at a time: peel, place, press firmly along the length and both edges. Stand back after each pair and look at the line. No drilling and no trim removal are involved at any stage. The six are stainless steel.
If a Maxima cover won't sit flat, keep its liner on and ring 877-752-3811 with PP24541. Once cured, the six covers take car soap and a soft towel.
Time and help
An unhurried session, ideally with a helper for the dry fit. Marking six positions takes the most time. Before ordering, take the gallery out to the car and make sure every shape has a 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.
