Product Description
PP28082: Six Polished Pillar Covers for the 2008-2011 Mercedes C Class Sedan
For the Mercedes C Class sedan, 2008-2011, PP28082 provides six pillar covers in polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, for $84.49. The record tags the car 4-door, Sedan.
Fitment rests on two checks. First, the body: only the sedan is listed, so another C Class body style isn't covered. Second, the year: the span is four model years, with the title and record in agreement, so confirm yours on your paperwork or the door-jamb label. If either check doesn't match, phone Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 and give the part number PP28082 before buying.
The linked alternative is PP28081, which has four covers and costs less. Neither listing names its pillars or gives widths, so put the two galleries side by side and compare them with the posts on your Mercedes. If you want every shape shown here, this six-piece set is the one; if the four-piece photos already show the look you're after, choose that. Order only one.
Nothing about the car changes except its appearance. The covers rest on the posts between the side windows, and the doors, glass and weather seals work exactly as they did. Because 304 stainless resists corrosion without any plated coating, the shine is the steel itself, and a wash keeps it that way.
Every cover mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface. You won't drill, and no factory trim is removed. Read the Installation tab for the temperature range and cure time.
Six posts mean six surfaces to get right. Inspect each in daylight for wax, a chalky or faded film, small cracks or an edge beginning to lift, and fix what you find. The tape bonds to that finish, so this step decides how well the covers stay put. Wash with car soap, dry fully, then wipe each post with rubbing alcohol on a clean, lint-free cloth.
On delivery, count the six covers and compare each with the gallery, and call if one is creased or missing. The gallery's sequence works for the six C Class covers. Place each cover with its backing still on and frame it with painter's tape, then step back to check the covers look the same. When they do, fit a pair at a time, pressing each cover firmly along its length and both edges.
If any cover lifts, keep its backing on and call 877-752-3811. A dry, mild, shaded day is ideal, and a helper makes it easier to keep each cover even. Keep the car dry until the cure time has passed.
Before checking out, take the gallery to your C Class and find a post for each of the six shapes. If one has no obvious home, ask before ordering rather than after.
It also helps to jot down which posts you want polished before comparing galleries. Having that list in hand makes the choice between the four-piece and six-piece listings quick, and gives you something concrete to describe if you phone.

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.
