Product Description
Ford Focus 2008-2011 Sedan Eight-Cover Pillar Post Trim (PP48347)
PP48347 is the eight-cover pillar post set for the Ford Focus sedan, the largest of the three Focus pillar listings. It's polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA, at $84.49. The fitment row reads Ford Focus 2008-2011, tagged 4-door, Sedan.
Your records settles the fit: a four-door Focus sedan from 2008 to 2011. Another year or body falls outside this record, so check with us before ordering if that's your situation or you can't tell.
The smaller linked Focus sets are PP48345 with four covers and PP48346 with six. None of the three gives post names, widths or notes. Compare all three galleries and look for the posts that gain a cover only in this eight-piece set.
The record links more Focus pieces too, among them RD48345, a rear deck accent, and WQ48345, wheel well accent trim. Each page lists its own tags.
With eight covers, sort before you start. Spread them on a soft blanket next to the Focus, match each to its photo and post, and pencil a number lightly on every backing liner so the order holds once your hands are busy.
Eight look-alike shapes reward some order. Lay a clean bath towel on the Focus's hood or the garage floor, set the covers out in the order the gallery shows them, and decide which post each one is for. A small pencil number on the corner of each liner keeps the sequence once you're working along the sedan.
The eight are decorative covers for the posts around the side glass. They don't touch how the doors, windows or seals work. 304 stainless resists corrosion through its own makeup, so there's no plating to chip.
Each one mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape onto the paint or trim on its post today. No holes go into the sedan and no trim is unclipped. The Installation tab gives the temperature window and cure period.
Eight bonds need eight well-prepared posts. Strip wax, polish and any sealant, and put right chalking, crazed or flaking paint, as the tape is only as firm as that coat. Wash with car soap, rinse and dry completely. Finish each post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloth, refolding until nothing more comes off, and feel along it for dents.
Before beginning, gather a full roll of low-tack painter's tape, a soft pencil, a bottle of rubbing alcohol, a bucket of car-soap water and a thick stack of lint-free cloths. Ask someone to stand back and call out when an edge drifts; eight lines are hard to judge from close up.
Before beginning, gather painter's tape, a pencil, rubbing alcohol, a bucket of car-soap water and a thick stack of lint-free cloths. A second pair of eyes a few steps back from the sedan helps, because with eight pieces small drifts in alignment are easy to miss from up close.
Should any of the eight rock or refuse to lie down, put it aside unpeeled and phone 877-752-3811. When the tape has cured, wash them with car soap and water and dry with a soft towel.

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.
