Product Description
6-Piece Stainless Pillar Post Trim for the 2017-2020 Lincoln Continental (PP57681)
For Continental owners who want more polished steel along the side glass, PP57681 is the larger of QAA's two pillar post kits for the 4-door Lincoln Continental sedan. It has six pieces, two more than PP57680, and fits model years 2017 through 2020.
Comparing the two Continental kits
Both kits are complete sets made for the same sedan. QAA's catalog lists the piece counts, four and six, but does not describe where each individual piece goes, and neither listing carries a coverage note. With six pieces, this kit puts more steel along the window line. Look at the product photos on both listings to compare them, or call and ask before ordering.
Why the larger count matters
On the Continental, the pillars between its windows are clearly visible from the side, so trimming them changes how the side view reads. Covering them in polished metal frames each window opening. More pieces generally means a more continuous frame, which is the look many owners want on a luxury sedan where bright accents are already part of the design language.
Material
QAA manufactures these covers in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, then polishes them to a mirror finish. This is solid stainless rather than a coated plastic, so the brightness goes all the way through and won't peel. Every piece in the set matches.
How it attaches
Each cover mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and installs directly over the existing pillar surface. No factory parts come off. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle surface.
With six pieces, it helps to be organized. Lay them out by position on a towel. Clean every pillar with soap and water, let it dry fully, then wipe it again to remove leftover wax. Dry-fit each piece. Fit each Continental cover in turn so the reveals at the glass line up with the photos. The Installation tab walks through it.
A practical tip for the Continental: the tape bonds best when the panels are at a moderate temperature, so avoid installing in direct midday sun or on a cold morning. A garage or a shaded driveway on a mild day gives the adhesive its best start.
Fitment details
Listed for the Lincoln Continental 4-door sedan, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. No other body styles are listed. The Fitment tab shows the application as QAA catalogs it.
Pairing with other trim
QAA catalogs several other pieces for this Continental, including the WP57680 window trim package with upper trim and pillar posts, the WP57681 package with upper trim only, a lower rocker panel kit, side molding accents, wheel well trim, a rear deck accent, a license plate bezel, and a gas door cover. Because WP57680 already includes pillar posts, you would not need this kit as well if you choose that package.

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.
