PP16918: Six Pillar Post Covers for the 2016-2022 BMW 7 Series Sedan
Six polished stainless covers, made in the USA, for the pillars of a 2016-2022 BMW 7 Series 4-door sedan. PP16918 is the larger of the two 7 Series pillar sets QAA lists; the four-piece PP16917 is the other.
Will it fit? The one fitment row is BMW 7 Series, 2016-2022, 4-door, Sedan. If that's your car, you're in the right place. If it isn't, or you're not certain of the year, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and quote PP16918.
Why six? What this set's two further covers dress isn't explained, and neither listing has notes. We'd rather show than guess, so the gallery is your guide. Compare these photos with the four-piece set's and look for the shapes that appear only here. Those are what you gain by choosing six. Buy just one 7 Series set; ring 877-752-3811 before combining listings.
What is pillar trim, exactly? The pillars are the upright panels around the side windows. Each cover here is a thin stainless piece shaped to sit on the face of one, bonded on top so the panel underneath stays untouched.
What's it made of? 304 stainless steel, 26 gauge, with a polished finish. Since the shine is the metal and not a plated skin, there's nothing to chip or peel later.
How does it attach? 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, applied directly over the existing surface. No drilling, no removing anything. Temperature limits and cure time are on the Installation tab.
What should I do first? Check the box: six covers, each matching a shape in the listing photos. If anything is bent or missing, call before you start. Then plan a dry day and a spot out of direct sun, and keep the car dry for the cure time afterwards.
How do I prep the surface? Wash the pillar areas with car soap and water, rinse and towel dry. Wipe each one with rubbing alcohol on a clean microfibre and let it flash off. Wax, polish and ceramic coatings all get in the way of the tape, so remove them where the covers will go.
What's the best way to fit six? Lay them out on a soft towel and match them to the photos. Keep each backing on while you test it against the car and sight down its edges, then mark the spot with painter's tape and pencil the location on the backing. Once every cover has a place, peel and press one at a time, pushing firmly along the length and both edges. Step back now and then to check the lines look even from a distance.
Is there other trim on this sheet? No. Only the two pillar sets are listed for this 7 Series here. Call to ask about anything else.
What if a cover won't line up? Stop with the backing on and phone 877-752-3811. A question is far easier to sort out before the tape has touched the car.

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.
