Product Description
PP11581 Nissan Leaf Pillar Trim: Six Stainless Pieces for the 2011-2017 4-Door Hatchback
PP11581 sits in the middle of the three Nissan Leaf pillar post sets. It has six pieces of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, and fits the Leaf 4-door hatchback from 2011 through 2017. PP11580 has four pieces and PP11582 has ten.
How do I choose between four, six and ten? By the photos. None of the three listings has notes or names its pillars, so the data can't tell you what six pieces cover over four or leave out against ten. Open the photos of all three, walk around your Leaf and match shapes to pillars. Pick the set that covers the pillars you care about without paying for pieces you don't want. Torn between the Leaf sets? Talk it through with us at 877-752-3811.
Can I combine two sets? We don't recommend it. Whether the smaller sets are part of the larger ones isn't stated, so compare photos before buying two. Choose one. If you're torn, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and mention PP11581.
How do I know it fits my car? The single fitment row lists the Nissan Leaf, 4-door hatchback, 2011-2017. The title matches. PP11581 covers Leafs from 2011 to 2017, so check your car's year on its registration before ordering.
What holds it on? 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. The pieces install directly over the existing surface, so you won't drill or remove anything.
How should I prep? Wash with soapy water, rinse, dry. Then a rubbing alcohol wipe on a lint-free cloth, left to evaporate. Remove wax, sealant or ceramic coating from the contact area. Repair any chipped or flaking finish first; tape is only as good as the surface beneath it.
What's the best way to fit six pieces? Put the Leaf pieces on a towel in the order the gallery uses. Offer each to its pillar with the liner on. When it sits right, mark both ends with painter's tape and write its spot on the liner. Peel one at a time, line it up with the marks, press firmly from end to end, and then along both edges. Look at all six together before you put the tools away.
What about weather and curing? The Installation tab gives the temperature range and cure time. A mild, dry day is ideal. Hold off washing until the cure time has passed.
How do I keep it looking good? Mild soap, water and a soft cloth. No steel wool or abrasive pads.
Anything else? Work in open shade or a bright garage; glare from glass and polished metal hides small misalignments.
Listing data shows again on the Fitment and Specs tabs.
What should I have ready? A bucket and sponge, clean microfiber towels, rubbing alcohol, painter's tape, a marker for writing on the liners, and the product photos open on a phone. With everything within reach you can move from one piece to the next without leaving a peeled piece waiting.

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.
