Product Description
Six-Cover Pillar Post Trim for the 2008-2009 Ford Taurus X (PP48356)
PP48356 brings six polished stainless pillar post covers to the Ford Taurus X. The covers are 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, and the set costs $100.99. It's listed for 2008-2009, with one fitment row: Ford Taurus X 2008-2009, tagged 4-door, Crossover SUV.
Only two model years are covered, 2008 and 2009, on the four-door crossover. PP48356 shares the same two Taurus X years. If yours is outside that pair, or the paperwork leaves doubt, please phone before buying.
The linked four-cover set, PP48355, carries the note "Includes keyless entry touch pad." This six-cover listing has no notes at all, and neither record names its posts or gives widths. If the touch pad matters to you, compare both galleries closely or ask us which set suits your door.
Two other Taurus X trims share these links: RD48355, a one-piece rear deck accent, and TH48355, a four-piece full rocker kit noted "Spans from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door." Read their tags on their own pages.
Before any liner comes off, carry the six photos round the crossover and settle each cover's post. Keep aside any shape you can't place.
Quality Automotive Trims picks up on 877-752-3811. Give us PP48356 and your year, and we'll go over the six with you and the touch pad question if it applies.
These six are cosmetic, covering posts around the side glass while leaving the doors, windows and weatherstrip working unchanged. Corrosion resistance comes from the 304 alloy itself, with no plating.
Every cover mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape onto its post's current paint or trim. The Taurus X isn't drilled and nothing is removed. The Installation tab lists the temperature range and cure time.
Give the six posts the same care. Take off wax, polish and any sealant, and repair powdery, cracked or peeling paint first, since that's the surface the tape will hold. Wash with car soap, rinse and let them dry completely. Then wipe each post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloth, moving to a fresh section until nothing transfers, and run a fingertip along for dents.
A roll of painter's tape, a pencil for six numbered tabs, a bottle of rubbing alcohol, a bucket of soapy water and plenty of lint-free cloths. A helper a few paces back is handy for judging each line on the crossover.
Choose a dry, still day and park in shade. Lay the six beside the gallery and report anything bent or missing. Number each post on painter's tape. One at a time and liner on, place a cover, shift it until its margin is even and frame it in tape. Peel, set it within the frame and press firmly end to end and along both edges. Compare it with its photo before the next.
If a cover tips or won't come down at a corner, leave the liner on, set it aside and ring 877-752-3811. After the tape has cured, the six need only car soap, water and a soft towel.

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.
