Product Description
Eight-Piece Pillar Post Trim for the Suzuki XL-7, 2007-2009 (PP28872)
Of the three linked XL-7 pillar sets, PP28872 has the most covers: eight polished stainless covers for $100.99. The record lists the Suzuki XL-7 for 2007-2009, 4-door, SUV, and the covers are made in the USA from 26 gauge 304 stainless steel.
Because the listing spans only three model years, confirm yours before you spend. PP28872 is tagged to that 2007-2009 XL-7 window as well. Title and record line up, with one model and no exceptions. If your XL-7 isn't from 2007-2009, call Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 and cite PP28872.
Should you buy eight? The linked alternatives are PP28870 with four covers and PP28871 with six, both priced lower. None of the listings names the pillars or gives widths, so photographs are the evidence. Go through this gallery first, since it has the most shapes, and see whether each one corresponds to a post you want polished. If they all do, this is your set. If not, compare the other two galleries before deciding. Order just one listing, not two, and keep the receipt with the part number on it.
All eight covers are about looks. Each forms a bright facing over a post between the side windows, and the doors, glass and seals are left alone. The alloy is 304, which resists corrosion on its own, so you won't find a plated surface wearing through.
They attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface. No drilling and no trim removal. Before setting a date, read the temperature range and cure time on the Installation tab.
Eight surfaces to prepare means a longer session, so start early in the day. Check each post for wax, a faded or chalky finish, fine cracks or lifting edges, and put them right, because the tape relies on what's underneath. Then wash, dry fully, and wipe each with isopropyl alcohol on a fresh lint-free cloth.
A methodical layout helps. On delivery, spread the covers on a towel, check each against the gallery, and call if any is damaged or missing. Lay out the eight and number them in pencil on the painter's tape as you outline every position, liners still on. Circle the SUV to compare sides. Then peel and press two at a time, bearing down firmly along each cover's length and both edges.
If a cover won't seat, keep its liner on and phone 877-752-3811. Dry, mild weather in shade is best. A helper speeds things up, and a step stool helps if the upper edges are hard to see from the ground. Keep water off until the cure time has passed.
Before checkout, stand by the XL-7 with this gallery open and give all eight shapes a post. If even one has no clear place, ring before ordering. Mention whether you also considered the four-piece or six-piece listing, and have the model year ready, so every question gets answered in a single call instead of several.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 8 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.
