Three model years is a short span, so confirm yours first. Your records will show it; if it falls outside 2006-2008, this set isn't listed for your ML. Questions go to Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 with PP26066 to hand.
Next, four or six. Neither ML listing names its pillars or gives a width, so look at the pictures. Put the two galleries together and try placing each of these six outlines on your SUV. If they cover the areas you'd like in bright steel, this is your set. If the four-piece photos are closer to what you have in mind, that's the quicker order. Pick one.
The covers are cosmetic. They lay a polished face over the posts between the side windows, and the doors, glass and seals stay as they are. Being 304 stainless, they resist corrosion without any plating, so there's no film to flake. A wash with car soap is all the upkeep they need.
Each of the ML's six covers mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape bonding to the post finish as it stands, so the Mercedes needs no holes and keeps its trim. The temperature range and cure time are given on the Installation tab.
Six posts on a 2006-2008 ML, and the tape grips only what's on each. Check every one: a chalky bloom, crazing, a curling edge or old wax will cost you adhesion, so deal with it first. Then wash, dry and wipe each with rubbing alcohol until a fresh cloth stays clean. A step stool helps if the upper edges are hard to see from the ground.
Lay out soap, a bucket, alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil for numbering. A second person is useful with six pieces: one holds and presses while the other stands back and calls out whether the cover is square.
Pick a calm, dry day and shade for the Mercedes. Unwrap the six covers, compare each with its gallery image, and phone about anything bent or missing. Arrange the ML Class covers as the product photos do. Hold each to its post with the liner on, square it and frame it in numbered painter's tape; finish all six frames before any liner comes off. Then work two at a time, pressing each cover hard along its length and edges, and look along the SUV from the front before starting the next two.
A cover that lifts keeps its liner while you ring 877-752-3811. Keep the ML dry until the cure time has passed. After that, the covers need nothing more than the soap and water you already use on the paint, dried off with a soft towel.
Plan for a longer session than the four-piece set needs. Before buying, stand beside the ML with this gallery open and find a home for each of the six shapes; if one has none, call first.

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.
