Product Description
PP18651: Six-Piece Stainless Pillar Trim for the 2018-2024 VW Tiguan
Six covers, polished 304 stainless, for the 2018-2024 Volkswagen Tiguan 4-door SUV. PP18651 sits second in a run of five linked Tiguan pillar sets that go from four pieces (PP18650) up through eight (PP18652), ten (PP18653) and twelve (PP18654). It's listed at $89.99.
Will it fit my Tiguan? The single fitment row is Volkswagen Tiguan, 2018-2024, tagged 4-door and SUV. Tiguans from 2018 to 2024 are covered. If it isn't in that range, or something about your vehicle makes you unsure, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and mention PP18651.
Which pillars do the six covers go on? The listing doesn't name them, and the other four Tiguan sets don't either. There are no notes and no widths on any of them. What you can do is compare galleries. Look at the six shapes here, then at the four-piece gallery, and note any outline that appears in one but not the other. Do the same with the eight-piece gallery. Then stand next to your Tiguan and match the shapes to its pillars. That tells you more than the counts alone, and if the photos still leave a question, the phone line can answer it.
Do I need more than one set? No. Each set is a complete alternative. Combining the six-piece set with another Tiguan set isn't the intent; call first.
What's it made of? 26 gauge 304 stainless steel with a polished finish, made in the USA. The shine is the metal, with no plating over it to chip or peel.
How does it attach? 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface. No drilling, and none of the Tiguan's trim is removed.
What do I need? Mild car soap, a bucket and sponge, isopropyl alcohol, a couple of lint-free cloths, painter's tape, and a second person if you have one to sight the lines.
How long does it take? Plan on an unhurried session; most of the time is cleaning and test fitting. The Installation tab gives the tape's temperature range and cure time, and those come first.
What's the process? Work in the shade on a dry day. Count six covers and look each over against the photos. Wash the pillars with mild car soap, rinse and dry. Wipe them with isopropyl alcohol and let them flash off; tape won't hold on wax or a ceramic layer, so take that off where covers will sit. Arrange the six covers to match the photos. With the liners still on, hold each cover in place, line up its edges and mark them with painter's tape. Peel one liner at a time and press the cover down firmly along its length and edges. Fit the next cover straight after, so the Tiguan's covers stay even, and step back after every two.
What if a cover doesn't line up? Don't peel the liner. Call 877-752-3811 with the part number before going further.
How do I look after it? Once cured, the Tiguan's six covers take ordinary car soap and a soft drying 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.
