Product Description
PP17931: Six-Cover Stainless Pillar Set for the 2017-2023 BMW 5 Series
For the BMW 5 Series 4-door sedan from 2017 through 2023, PP17931 is the bigger of two QAA pillar sets, with six polished stainless covers to the four in PP17930. That's the only pairing on this sheet.
The fitment row is short: BMW 5 Series, 2017-2023, 4-door, Sedan. One body, seven years. If you own something outside that line, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 before ordering, and mention PP17931.
Deciding on six over four comes down to pictures. The listings themselves give a count and nothing more about coverage. There are no notes and no widths, and neither set names its pillars. Look at the six-cover gallery next to the four-cover one and you'll see which outlines appear only here. If they're shapes you want on the car, six is the right call, listed at $84.49. If not, save the effort with the smaller set. Either way, order one set alone; we can talk it through at 877-752-3811.
The six covers are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel made in the USA. No plating sits on top, so there's no layer to chip or cloud. Each fixes with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface. You won't drill, and you won't take anything off the car.
If you're new to this kind of trim: the pillars are the upright panels around the side windows, and each cover is a thin stainless shape that sits on the face of one. It's purely cosmetic and bonds on top of what's already there, so the panel underneath is left exactly as the factory made it.
Planning six covers
Give it a relaxed slot. Check the Installation tab for the temperature range and cure time, choose a dry day in the shade, and plan to keep the car dry afterwards. Supplies are simple: car soap, rubbing alcohol, a few lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil. A second pair of hands helps with holding covers and judging alignment.
When the box comes, lay out six covers and match each to the photos. Anything bent or missing gets a phone call before you start.
Wash, rinse and fully dry every area that will take a cover. Wipe each with rubbing alcohol and let it flash off. If the paint or trim has been waxed or coated, strip that layer where the tape will touch.
Match the covers to the photos and keep the liners on. Offer each cover up to its pillar, sight along both edges, and outline its place with painter's tape. Pencil the location on the liner so the six don't get mixed up. When the layout is complete, take them one by one: peel, place, then firm pressure along the full length and both edges. Then start the next one, and glance along the car to make sure the lines read evenly.
If a cover won't settle, stop with its liner on and ring 877-752-3811. Afterwards, ordinary car soap keeps the stainless clean; skip abrasive pads.

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.
