Product Description
Six-Piece Pillar Post Trim for the 2013-2018 Ford C-Max (PP53371)
What it is. PP53371 is the six-cover pillar post set for the Ford C-Max, at $73.49. The covers are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. Its one fitment row reads Ford C-Max 2013-2018, tagged 4-door, Hatchback.
Six versus four. The linked four-cover set is PP53370. The record gives neither set a note, a post list or widths, so it can't say which posts the further two covers here reach. The galleries can, and they're the best guide you have. Compare them side by side, cover by cover, then look at your own C-Max and decide how much of it you'd like dressed. If the photos leave you in two minds, we'll go through them with you on the phone. No other C-Max trim is linked.
Year. 2013 through 2018, from the row. PP53371 follows the same 2013-2018 C-Max row. If your C-Max sits right at either end of that span and you're unsure, a call before ordering costs nothing. If you're unsure how these fit your C-Max, ring 877-752-3811.
Calling us. Quality Automotive Trims, 877-752-3811. Mention PP53371 and the model year, and if you've already compared the two galleries, tell us which posts you were hoping to cover. We'll talk through whether six is the right count for your C-Max before anything is ordered.
Looks only. The six dress the window posts on the hatchback, nothing more, and leave doors, glass and seals working as they always have. The 304 alloy keeps corrosion off through its composition, not a coating.
Mounting. Each cover attaches with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the paint or trim already on the post. There's no drilling, and no Ford trim is unclipped or lifted at any point. The Installation tab has the temperatures and the cure period.
The prep, in order. One: wash all six posts with soapy water, rinse and dry. Two: take off any wax or polish film. Three: repair paint that's powdery, crazed or peeling, because the tape holds no better than that layer. Four: degrease each post with rubbing alcohol on fresh lint-free cloth until it shows nothing. Five: run a finger along each post for dents. Have low-tack painter's tape, a pencil and a clean towel ready.
The fitting, in order. Choose shade and a calm, dry day, and give yourself plenty of unhurried time. Check the six against the gallery, reporting any damage straight away. Dry-fit each one with its liner on, ease it until the margin is even and mask round it, numbering every mask. Then work through them singly: liner off, cover into its mask, steady firm pressure along the face and both edges. When all six are on, lift the masks and look along each border.
If a cover won't settle, don't push harder or trim it. Keep its liner on, set it on the towel and ring us at 877-752-3811. After the tape cures, a car-soap wash and a soft towel are all the six need.

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.
