Product Description
Six-Cover Pillar Post Trim for the 2008-2012 Jeep Liberty (PP48071)
PP48071 gives the Jeep Liberty six polished pillar post covers in 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. The set costs $84.49 and is listed for 2008-2012. Its fitment row reads Jeep Liberty 2008-2012, tagged 4-door, SUV.
Which Liberty. A four-door SUV from 2008 through 2012. Check the year, and if your Liberty is outside that span, or you're unsure, call before ordering.
Six compared with four. The linked PP48070 has four covers for the same Jeep. No post names, widths or notes appear on either. Open both galleries and look for the posts that gain a cover only in this six-piece set.
Other linked Liberty trim. The record also points to LP48070, a license plate bezel, and MI48070, a four-piece body molding insert kit noted "With Logo Cut Out," among others. Check their pages for tags.
Before peeling. Six shapes are easier to keep straight if you've matched every photo to its post first. Do that at the Jeep, and put aside any cover you can't place.
Call. 877-752-3811 reaches Quality Automotive Trims. Quote PP48071 and the year, and we'll go through all six with you.
Trim, nothing more. The six cover posts around the side glass. The doors, windows and weatherstrip carry on working as they do now. 304 stainless resists corrosion because of its alloy, not a coating.
Mounting. Every cover mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape onto its post's present paint or trim. There's no drilling and no panel removal. See the Installation tab for the temperature window and cure time.
Prep. Each of the six posts needs wax, polish and sealant removed, and any powdery, cracked or peeling paint repaired first, since the tape holds to that layer. Wash with car soap, rinse and let it dry completely. Wipe with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloth, moving to a clean patch until nothing transfers, and check for dents.
Have ready. A roll of painter's tape, a pencil for six labels, rubbing alcohol, a bucket of car-soap water and a stack of lint-free cloths. A helper and a step stool make the upper ends easier to judge.
Fitting. Leave this for a day without wind or rain and park the Liberty where the sun won't reach the posts. Spread out the six alongside the gallery and get in touch if any arrive bent or a piece is missing. Stick a numbered tab of painter's tape at each post. Working through the numbers one cover at a time, liner still in place, lay a cover on its post and slide it until the margin looks the same all round; then run tape around it as a guide. Lift it, peel the liner, lower it back inside the guide and press hard along the face and down each edge. Check it against its photo before reaching for the next number.
If one won't settle. A cover that tips or leaves a gap should keep its liner on while you ring 877-752-3811. Once 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.
