Product Description
Six-Cover Pillar Post Trim for the 2008-2012 Ford Escape (PP48321)
For the 2008-2012 Ford Escape, PP48321 is a six-cover pillar post set in polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA, priced at $84.49. One fitment row is on file: Ford Escape 2008-2012, tagged 4-door, SUV.
Make sure your Escape is a four-door SUV from those five model years; your records show the year. If it's outside 2008 to 2012, or you'd like a second check, contact us before you buy.
PP48320, the four-cover Escape set, is linked to this record. Neither listing tells you which posts it covers or how wide the pieces are, and neither has notes. Comparing the two galleries is how to see which posts these six reach that the four don't.
The linked MC48320, a two-piece mirror cover set, is the other Escape trim on this record. Check its tags on its page.
Six covers are easier to fit when every placement is decided beforehand. Take the photos out to the Escape, match each to its post, and set aside any piece that won't line up or looks damaged.

These six are trim. They frame posts around the side glass and leave the doors, windows and weatherstrip working as they do today. The corrosion resistance of 304 stainless is in the steel itself, so there's no plated surface.
Each cover mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape onto the paint or trim already on its post. Nothing gets drilled and no panels come off. See the Installation tab for temperatures and the cure time.
Six sound bonds start with six clean posts. Take off wax, polish and any sealant, and repair powdery, cracked or peeling paint beforehand, since the tape holds only to that layer. Wash with car soap, rinse and let them dry right through. Wipe every post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloth, moving to a clean patch until nothing transfers, and check for dents.
On hand: a roll of painter's tape, a pencil for six labels, rubbing alcohol, a bucket of soapy water and plenty of lint-free cloths. A second person to watch the lines from a few steps away makes six placements easier.
Pick a windless, dry day and park the SUV in shade. Lay the six beside the gallery and get in touch about anything bent or missing. Number each post on painter's tape. Working one at a time with the liner on, set a cover on its post, shift it until the gap round it is even and tape a frame. Peel, place it inside the frame and press firmly end to end and along both edges. Compare it with its photo, then continue.
If any of the six tips or won't come down at a corner, leave its liner on and phone 877-752-3811 rather than forcing it. When cured, the six clean with car soap and 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.
