Product Description
Volkswagen Tiguan 2009-2017 & Tiguan Limited 2017-2018 Pillar Post Trim, Six Covers (PP29651)
Is the Tiguan Limited covered? Yes. PP29651's title and fitment record both list the Volkswagen Tiguan for 2009-2017 and the Tiguan Limited for 2017-2018. Both rows are tagged 4-door, SUV. A Tiguan Limited owner from those years can order from this listing.
What's in the set? The box holds six covers for the Tiguan's window posts, each polished from 26 gauge 304 stainless and made in the USA. The set sells for $84.49. Only the four-cover PP29650 costs less among the Tiguan pillar listings.
Which other Tiguan sets are linked? PP29650 with four covers, PP29652 with eight and PP29653 with ten, all carrying the same two rows. None of the four listings has a note, a pillar name or a width.
How do I choose a count? By comparing photos. Go through the four galleries, follow each outline, and decide where it would sit on your SUV. If these six shapes are the ones you want polished, order this page; if another gallery suits your plan, order that listing.
What about 2017? Both rows include it, and the record doesn't say how they differ. Check which name your records uses and compare the gallery with your posts; Quality Automotive Trims can help on 877-752-3811 if you quote PP29651.
What do the covers change? The look of the posts between the side windows, and nothing more. Doors, glass and seals on the Volkswagen are untouched. The steel resists corrosion through its 304 grade, not a plated finish.
How are they held? 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape is what fixes the six covers to the Tiguan's posts. No drill is needed and no trim comes off. Temperature range and cure time are on the Installation tab.
What prep is needed? Inspect each of the six posts for a powdery film, fine crazing, a corner peeling away or a waxy sheen, and correct it; the tape grips only that surface. Then wash, rinse, dry fully, and wipe each with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloths until a clean one stays white.
What do I need on the day? Car soap and a bucket, alcohol, a good supply of cloths, painter's tape, a pencil, a towel for the covers and a second person.
How do they go on? In dry, still weather with the SUV in shade, match the six covers to their photos and ring us about any that are bent or missing. Spread the six Tiguan covers out and check them one by one against the photos. Backings on, hold each to its post, move it until the margins agree, and trace it with painter's tape, all six before peeling. Then two at a time: peel, set the cover in its tracing, and bear down along the length and both edges. Look along the side after every second cover.
And if one won't lie flat? Leave that Tiguan cover's backing in place, set it aside, and ring 877-752-3811 so we can talk it through.
Aftercare? After the cure, the Tiguan's covers need nothing more than car soap at wash time and a soft towel afterward.

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.
