Product Description
Mitsubishi Lancer 2008-2017 Pillar Post Trim, Six Stainless Covers (PP29016)
What is it? PP29016 is the six-cover pillar listing for the Mitsubishi Lancer, 2008-2017, with a fitment row tagged 4-door, Sedan. The covers are cut from 26 gauge 304 stainless, polished and made in the USA, and the set sells for $67.99.
Does the year range need care? It does. The fitment row runs a full ten model years with no break between earlier and later cars, so check the six shapes in the gallery against your own posts before ordering. If your Lancer is near the start or the end of that span, or anything looks different, call Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 with PP29016 and your year.
What's the alternative? PP29015, a four-cover set for the same row. Neither page names pillars or gives widths, so lay the two galleries next to each other and follow every outline. If these six shapes put polished steel where you want it on your sedan, this is the page; if the four-piece photos fit your plan, order that one.
How do I confirm fit? your records give the year and body. The row covers the four-door sedan only.
What do the covers change? Their look and nothing else. Each thin bright panel sits on a post between the side windows, and the Lancer's doors, glass and seals are untouched.
What about corrosion? 304 stainless resists it on its own, without a plated coat over the steel. Car soap and water are the care.
How do they attach? The six Lancer covers mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape onto the posts. The Mitsubishi isn't drilled and keeps every piece of its trim. Temperature range and cure time are on the Installation tab.
What prep matters most? The finish on each post, since the tape holds only as well as that finish. Run a fingertip and an eye along all six for chalkiness, hairline crazing, a corner lifting or a waxy film, and fix what you find. Then wash, rinse, dry fully, and wipe with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths, changing cloths until one stays white.
What should I gather? Car soap and a bucket, rubbing alcohol, a good pile of lint-free cloths, painter's tape, a pencil, a clean towel to lay the pieces on, and a helper to judge alignment from beside the sedan.
How does the fitting go? Pick a dry, still day and a shaded spot. Match all six covers to the gallery and call about any that are bent or missing. Lay the six on the towel as the photos show. With backings on, hold each cover to its post, adjust it until the margins look equal, and outline it with painter's tape, numbering the tape as you go. Outline all six before peeling anything. Then take two at a time: peel, settle the cover into its outline, and press firmly along its length and both edges. Sight along the Lancer every couple of covers.
And if one won't lie flat? Keep its backing on and phone 877-752-3811.
Aftercare? After the cure time, wash the six with car soap along with the paint and towel them dry.

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.
