Product Description
Six-Piece Polished Stainless Pillar Posts, 2011-2017 Volkswagen Touareg SUV (PP11641)
The six-piece PP11641 is the larger of two Touareg pillar sets. It fits the Volkswagen Touareg 4-door SUV, 2011-2017, and every piece is polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. The four-piece version is PP11640.
- Vehicle: Volkswagen Touareg, model years 2011 through 2017.
- Body tag: 4-door SUV.
- Pieces: six.
- Mounting: 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface.
- Notes and width: none listed.
Six versus four
The listings give the piece count and nothing more about coverage. Neither names which pillars it includes, and there are no notes to separate them. Your best guide is the product photos. If the six-piece photos show a pillar you'd want covered that the four-piece photos don't, this is the set. If not, the four-piece PP11640 does the job with fewer parts to place. Because the catalog doesn't say whether the two sets overlap, we'd plan on buying one.
Before ordering
Read the model year off your records and confirm it's within 2011-2017. Confirm it's the Touareg. If the photos leave you uncertain about any piece, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and give us PP11641.
Install, without drilling
Because the trim installs directly over the existing surface, the job is mostly cleaning and placement.
Wash the pillars and dry them. Wipe with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth. Let it evaporate, and remove any wax or sealant from where the tape will go.
Set out all six Touareg pieces before any liner comes off. Offer each one up with the backing on and look closely at the edges. When it follows the pillar's outline, put painter's tape marks at both ends and label the backing. If a piece won't sit right, recheck it against the photos.
Peel one backing, line the piece up with the marks, and press firmly along its whole length, then down both edges. Finish three, start the rest, and compare them from a few steps away. A step stool helps with the upper ends. The Installation tab lists the temperature range and cure time.
Light and patience
Glare from glass and polished steel makes small misalignments hard to see. Open shade or a bright garage is the place to judge your margins.
Cleaning later
Clean with a soft cloth and mild soap rather than abrasive pads.
Fitment and Specs hold the listing data, and 877-752-3811 takes questions about PP11641.
What to have ready
A bucket, sponge and microfiber towels for the wash; rubbing alcohol and a lint-free cloth for the final wipe; painter's tape and a marker for placement; and the product photos open on a phone or tablet. A step stool for the upper ends, and ideally a helper who can stand back and tell you whether a piece looks level.
If a piece won't line up
Stop before peeling. Recheck the photos and the other pillars. If it still looks wrong, take a photo of it held in place and call us. Sorting it out before the tape is down is far easier than after.

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.
