Product Description
PP17061: Six Polished Pillar Covers for the 2017-2023 Mercedes E Class Sedan
For a 2017-2023 Mercedes E Class 4-door sedan, PP17061 is the larger of the two QAA pillar post sets: six polished stainless covers, made in the USA. The four-piece PP17060 is its only sibling on this sheet.
Is it for my car? The single row reads Mercedes E Class, 2017 to 2023, 4-door, Sedan. Only the sedan is tagged. For another body style, or a model year outside that range, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and quote PP17061 before ordering.
What do six covers get me over four? The catalog doesn't say. Neither E Class pillar listing has notes or names its pillars, and neither gives a width. What you can do is compare the photos: the shapes in this gallery that you can't find in the four-piece set's photos are the answer. Choose whichever set shows the covers you want, then order that one alone. Just one E Class set goes on a car; call 877-752-3811 before combining.
What are they made of? 304 stainless steel in a 26 gauge sheet, polished to a bright finish. No plating is involved, so nothing on the surface can chip away.
How are they fitted? Using 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface. No holes, no clips, no trim taken off. The Installation tab lists the temperature range and cure time.
What's a pillar cover, anyway? The pillars are the vertical panels around the side windows. A cover is a thin stainless piece cut to the outline of one, laid on top of it to give that panel a polished face.
Do I need special tools? No. Car soap, rubbing alcohol, a couple of clean cloths and a roll of painter's tape cover it. A helper is useful with six pieces, mainly to hold the next cover and to check the line from a few steps back while you press.
How do I prepare? Wash with soap and water, rinse, dry. Wipe each pillar area with rubbing alcohol on a clean microfibre and wait a moment for it to evaporate. Take off any wax, sealant or ceramic coating on those spots. Choose a dry day and avoid working in strong sun.
What order should I work in? Unpack the six E Class covers, count them, and find each one's view in the gallery. Keep the backings on while you try each against the car and mark its place with painter's tape, noting the location on the backing in pencil. When the layout makes sense, peel and press one cover at a time, rubbing firmly from end to end and along both edges. Then move to the next cover, and step back to check the lines look even.
What if a cover is damaged or won't fit? Leave its backing on and phone 877-752-3811. Report anything bent or missing before installing.
How do I keep it bright? After the cure time, wash with ordinary car soap and dry with a clean towel.

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.
