Product Description
6-Piece Stainless Steel Pillar Trim Kit, 2015-2019 Lincoln MKC SUV (PP55641)
PP55641 sits in the middle of QAA's three pillar post kits for the Lincoln MKC. With six pieces, it goes further than the four-piece starter set without stepping all the way up to the ten-piece package. It is cut for the 4-door MKC SUV and listed for every model year from 2015 to 2019.
A middle option that makes sense
Many shoppers find the middle kit the easiest call. PP55640 offers four pieces and PP55642 offers ten. Six pieces covers more of the window frame than the smallest kit, which matters on an SUV where the side glass runs a long way back. QAA's catalog data does not describe exactly which post each piece fits, so look closely at the listing photos for all three kits. They show the coverage far better than words can.
For anyone new to the term, pillar posts are the upright body sections separating and bordering the side windows. Covering them in polished metal draws a bright outline around the glass, which gives the MKC a more finished, upscale profile.
Material
QAA forms these pieces in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel and polishes them to a mirror shine. That grade of stainless is the same family used for kitchen equipment and architectural trim. Here it is shaped to the contours of the MKC's pillars. There is no plating to peel, because the bright surface is the steel.
Mounting method
Every piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. The trim installs directly over the existing pillar surface, so no panels come off. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the surface of the vehicle. Take it one piece at a time. The Installation tab covers surface prep, test fitting, and the pressing order, and the job rewards a patient approach more than any special tools.
Completing the look
QAA lists plenty of other trim for this same MKC. Options include a body side molding accent (AT55640, 6 pieces), a body molding insert kit (MI55640, 6 pieces), an upper rocker panel kit (TH55640, 6 pieces), a gas door cover (GC55640), a license plate bezel (LP55640), a brake light surround (BL55640), and a rear deck accent (RD55640). Pairing the pillar kit with one or two of these carries the accent along the full length of the vehicle; check each of those listings for its finish.
Ordering details

A word on timing: QAA lists this kit for all five MKC model years, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019, with the same fit across the run. That makes it a straightforward choice whether your MKC is an early or a late example, as long as it is the 4-door SUV. The six pieces are cut to shape, so there is no measuring or trimming on your end.

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.
