Product Description
PP26676 Six Polished Pillar Covers, 2006-2010 Volkswagen Passat Sedan
Six covers for the window pillars of a 2006-2010 Volkswagen Passat sedan: that's PP26676, priced at $84.49. The steel is polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA, and the fitment row reads 4-door, Sedan.
- Check the car. your records should show 2006-2010 and a sedan. Anything else isn't listed for this set.
- Compare with the four-piece. PP26675 is the linked four-cover Passat set. Neither page names pillars or widths, so line up the two galleries and judge the outlines. Six suits you if its photos show the brightwork you're after. Pick whichever of the two pages fits your plan and order that one.
- Note the price gap. This six-piece set is priced well above the four-piece one. If that matters to your choice, call to confirm before ordering.
- Know the other links. The Passat page also lists, each separately: an engine trim package (EP26675), head light accent trim (HL26675), a license plate bezel noted "No screw holes" (LP26675), accent trim noted "Front Marker Lights" (ML26675), rear deck accent (RD26675) and front grille accent trim (SG26675). They aren't part of this order.

On the covers themselves: they're cosmetic, a slim bright face for each post between the side windows, leaving doors, glass and seals alone. Grade 304 resists corrosion with no plated skin over the steel, and on the Passat's regular wash day car soap and water are the whole routine.
The six mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape onto the Passat's posts as they are; nothing is drilled and none of its trim comes off. Read the Installation tab for the temperature range and the cure time before you plan the day.
Because the tape grabs the existing finish, inspect each post first. Chalking, crazing, an edge curling up or a slick of wax all need putting right. Then soap, rinse and dry, and rub each post with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth until a fresh one stays spotless.
Gather a bucket, car soap, rubbing alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil. With six Passat pieces, a helper is useful both for sighting the lines and for keeping the covers in order on a clean towel.
On a mild, dry, windless day out of the sun, unpack all six and match them to the photos, phoning about anything bent or missing. Set the six Passat covers out in the gallery's order. Liner still on, rest each against its post, shift it until the reveal is even, and fence it with painter's tape. Fence all six before peeling a single liner. Then work two at a time: strip, drop the cover into its fence, and bear down along its length and both edges. Stand back every couple of covers.
A cover that won't sit flush keeps its liner while you ring 877-752-3811. After curing, wash with car soap and dry with a soft towel. Most of the session goes into cleaning and fencing. Before you order, give each of the six shapes a post with the gallery open beside the Passat.

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.
