Product Description
Six-Cover Pillar Post Trim for the 2013-2019 Ford Escape, Keyless Touch Pad Version (PP53361)
The set. Six polished stainless pillar post covers for the Ford Escape, $89.99, in 26 gauge 304 stainless steel made in the USA. PP53361 has one fitment row, Ford Escape 2013-2019, tagged 4-door, SUV, and two notes: "Includes keyless entry touch pad" and "Sheer three sides."
The notes. Neither note is explained further in the record. We can't tell you what "Sheer three sides" refers to, or what the touch pad wording means for the shape of the covers, so the gallery is the place to look. PP53365 is the matching six-cover set noted "Does not include keyless touch pad," and it also carries "Sheer three sides." Comparing those two galleries, and checking whether your Escape has a keyless entry touch pad, is the practical way to choose between them.
The other Escape sets. PP53360 (four covers) and PP53363 (ten, with a front triangle piece) carry the touch pad note too. PP53364 (four) lacks it, and PP53367 (ten) is noted "No keyless entry access." PP53362 (eight, "Includes rear rear Pillar piece") and PP53366 (six, no notes) don't mention the touch pad at all. None of them names its posts or gives widths.
Linked Escape trim. The record also links door handle accents (DH53360), a gas door cover (GC53360), a rear deck accent (RD53360), rocker panel trim (TH53360), a trunk accent (TP53360), wheel well trim (WQ53360) and a window sill set (WS53360). They're sold separately and aren't part of this set.
Ask us. Quality Automotive Trims, 877-752-3811. Quote PP53361, your year (the row covers 2013 to 2019) and whether there's a touch pad.
Cosmetic. The six dress the window posts on the Escape and change nothing else, and doors, glass and seals work as before. The 304 alloy resists corrosion through its own composition.
Mounting. Each cover is held by 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the post's existing surface. No holes, nothing unclipped from the Escape. The Installation tab gives temperatures and cure time.
Prep. Wash all six posts with soapy water, rinse and dry. Take off wax and polish. Repair any powdery, crazed or peeling paint, because the tape anchors to that coat. Degrease each post with rubbing alcohol on fresh lint-free cloth until nothing comes away, and run a finger along for dents. Keep low-tack painter's tape, a pencil and a clean towel close by for the fitting.
Fitting. Shade, dry weather, no wind. Check the six against their photos and report any damage first. Dry-fit each with its liner on, shift it until the margin is even and mask its outline, pencilling a number on the mask. Then singly: liner off, into its mask, firm steady pressure along the face and both edges. Peel the masks when all six are on, then step back and look along each border.
If a cover won't seat, keep its liner on and ring 877-752-3811. Once cured, car soap, water 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.
