Product Description
PP25941 Six-Piece Pillar Post Trim, 2004-2010 BMW X3
Which vehicle? The BMW X3, 2004-2010, tagged 4-door, SUV. That's seven model years; check yours.
What's in the box? Six polished stainless pillar covers in 26 gauge 304 steel, made in the USA. PP25941 is $84.49.
Are there other X3 sets? Two are linked: PP25940 has four covers and PP25942 has ten. Same years, same tags. None of the three listings names its pillars or lists a width, so you're choosing by picture. Open all three galleries and place every shape on your X3 in your mind's eye. If six covers matches the polished look you want, this is it. Fewer pieces means less work if four covers suit you; if the ten-piece photos fit your plans better, that set is the one to consider. You'd fit one X3 set, not two; ring us before combining.

What do the covers do? They give the posts between the side windows a bright stainless face. It's cosmetic; nothing about the doors or glass changes.
Why 304 stainless? It resists corrosion without plating, so there's no layer to peel and no other metal under a scuff. Warm soapy water keeps it clean.
How are they fixed on? With 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface. You won't drill or take any trim off. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and cure time.
What prep matters? The tape bonds to the finish already on the posts, so any chalky film, crazing, lifting edge or wax buildup needs sorting first. Wash, dry thoroughly, then wipe with rubbing alcohol until a fresh lint-free cloth stays clean.
Anything specific to an SUV? If the upper edges are hard to see from the ground, a small step stool helps you line covers up squarely.
What should be on hand? Car soap, a bucket, rubbing alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape, a pencil, and ideally a second person.
What's the sequence? On a dry, still day out of the sun, check all six covers against the photos and call if one is bent or missing. Set the six X3 covers beside the listing images. Hold each up with the backing on, ease it into line and outline it in painter's tape, marking all six before peeling anything. Then go one by one: peel, settle into the outline, and press firmly along the length and both edges. After each second cover, stand back and check.
And if one won't sit flat? Leave its backing on and call 877-752-3811.
Aftercare? Cured pieces get car soap and a soft towel, nothing harsher.
How long? An unhurried session; cleaning and marking take most of it.
Anything to do before ordering? Stand beside the X3 with the gallery open on your phone and give each of the six shapes a post. Run a hand along each post's finish at the same time, so any repairs are planned before the covers arrive. If a shape has no obvious home, call before you buy.

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.
