Product Description
PP18666: Six Stainless Pillar Covers, 2018-2026 VW Jetta Sedan
The six-piece set in the Jetta range is PP18666: polished 304 stainless pillar post trim for the 2018-2026 Volkswagen Jetta 4-door sedan, listed at $84.49. It sits between the four-piece PP18665 and the eight-piece PP18667.
What separates the three? On paper, very little. The eight-piece set carries one note, "Includes small rear triangle", and that's the only description any of them has. This set and the four-piece set have no notes, no widths and no pillar names. So this listing doesn't include the rear triangle, and it doesn't tell us which six pillars the covers go on. The product photos show the shapes. Compare them with the four-piece and eight-piece galleries, then with your Jetta. If something still isn't clear, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and ask about PP18666.
Whatever you choose, buy one set. Combining Jetta sets isn't intended, so speak to us before ordering two.
The fitment row reads Volkswagen Jetta, 2018-2026, 4-door, Sedan. Jettas from 2018 onward to 2026 are listed. Anything outside that span is a reason to call first.
About the covers themselves: 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished, made in the USA. The bright finish is the steel's own surface, not a plated layer, so there's no coating to flake or peel. They're attached with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface. No drilling, and the Jetta's own trim stays in place.
One more pre-order check: look at your own pillars with the six-piece photos open beside you. If every shape has an obvious home, the count suits you. If one doesn't, compare the other two galleries or call before you buy, since it's much simpler to sort out now than after the covers are on.
Fitting goes best with a bit of planning. Here's a checklist.
- Read the Installation tab for the tape's temperature range and cure time.
- Work in the shade on a dry, mild day.
- The kit to have on hand: mild car soap, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape, a pencil.
- Check the six covers against the photos, and call if any is bent or missing.
- Wash, rinse and dry the pillars, then wipe them with alcohol and let it evaporate.
- Take off any wax or ceramic coating where covers will sit.
- Lay the covers out in the order the photos show.
- With the liner on, dry-fit each Jetta cover, outline its edges with painter's tape, and pencil the spot on the liner.
- Work one cover at a time: peel, place, and press firmly along its length and both edges.
- Get each cover fully seated before you peel the one after it.
- Pause after each second cover to stand back and look the line over.
If a cover won't seat, keep its liner on and phone 877-752-3811 rather than pressing harder. Wait out the cure time before the first wash, then use ordinary car soap and a soft towel from then on.
A small tip: begin with the cover that's easiest to see. Once it's right, it's a reliable guide for placing the rest.

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.
