Product Description
6-Piece Polished Pillar Trim for the 2020-2026 Ford Escape (PP60361)
If you want the window pillars on your Ford Escape to stand out, PP60361 is the fuller of QAA's two pillar kits for it. Six polished stainless steel covers go over the pillars of the 4-door Escape, and QAA lists the kit for model years 2020 through 2026.
Six pieces instead of four
QAA also sells a four-piece Escape pillar kit, PP60360. Both fit the same vehicle; check its finish. What the catalog does not spell out is which pillars the two further pieces in this kit cover. Rather than guess, compare the photos on the two listings, or call and ask. In general, the larger kit is for owners who want more of the window frame finished in bright metal.
A quick explanation of pillars
Pillars are the upright sections of the body that hold up the roof and separate the side windows. On the Escape they are part of what you see from the side, so dressing them up has a clear effect. Polished covers draw a bright line around the glass and bring a touch of shine to a vehicle you see every day in the driveway.
Construction
- Six Escape covers, 26-gauge 304 stainless
- Each Escape cover carries a mirror polish
- QAA turns out the Escape set in the USA
- Escape covers fix with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape
Solid stainless keeps its shine through washing because there is no chrome plating on top to wear through.
How it attaches
On the Escape, the six covers sit on the surface that is already there, and there is nothing to disassemble. Per QAA, the tape on this kit lasts a lifetime and won't damage the SUV underneath.
Install routine
Sort all six Escape pieces by position first. Clean each pillar with soap and water, let it dry, and remove any wax so the tape can grip bare paint or trim. Test-fit every cover first. When it sits right, pull the liner and press it down firmly from one end to the other. Press each Escape cover completely before peeling the next liner. Avoid installing on a hot or cold panel. The Installation tab covers each step.
Matching Escape trim
For the same 4-door Escape, QAA catalogs a gas door cover, a license bar above the plate, a four-piece body molding insert kit that calls for adhesive promoter, a tailgate handle accent, and an eight-piece lower rocker panel kit that runs from the bottom of the door upward. Check each of those listings for its finish if you want the look carried around the whole vehicle.
Care after install
Care is simple. Wash the covers with the rest of the Escape and dry them with a soft cloth so water spots do not dull the mirror finish. Avoid abrasive pads on the polished surface, and the stainless will keep its bright, even look for as long as you own the vehicle.

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.
