Product Description
PP28042 Eight-Piece Pillar Post Trim for the 2008-2013 Infiniti EX
PP28042 is the largest of the three linked Infiniti EX pillar sets: eight polished stainless covers for $100.99, made in the USA from 26 gauge 304 steel. The record lists the EX for 2008-2013, tagged 4-door, SUV.
The years are straightforward. Title and record agree on one model and an unbroken six-year run. Confirm yours in your records, and if the EX you own falls outside 2008-2013, call Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 before buying. Quote PP28042.
The smaller linked sets are PP28040, four covers, and PP28041, six. The catalog doesn't say which pillars any of the three covers or how wide the pieces are, so compare galleries before spending. Eight covers make sense only if you want polished steel on every post shown in this set's photos. If a smaller gallery already matches what you're after, it'll cost less and take less time to fit. Buy just one listing, not several.
All eight pieces are cosmetic. They lie over the posts between the side windows and leave the doors, glass and seals working normally. The 304 alloy resists corrosion without plating, so the polish can't peel, and washing is the only upkeep.
All eight EX covers go on with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing pillars; the Infiniti keeps its trim and gets no holes. See the Installation tab for the EX's temperatures and cure time.
Eight posts make preparation the bulk of the job, and it's worth doing in one unhurried pass rather than in snatches. Go round slowly in good daylight. Wax, chalky fading, hairline cracks and lifting edges all weaken the tape's hold on the finish, so correct each one you find. Wash with car soap, dry completely, and wipe every post with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth.
Organisation keeps eight pieces manageable. Lay them on a clean towel when they arrive, match each to the gallery, and call if any is bent or missing. Plan the order you'll fit the eight EX covers and set them out that way. Before peeling any backing, place each cover and outline it with painter's tape, pencilling a label on each outline. Check from the front and rear that the covers look even. Then work two at a time, pressing every cover firmly along its full length and both edges.
If a cover won't sit flush, leave its backing on and ring 877-752-3811. Allow a longer session on a dry, mild day in the shade, with a helper if you can, and a step stool if the upper edges are hard to see from the ground. Keep the EX out of rain until the cure time has passed.
Before ordering, take this gallery out to the vehicle and give each of the eight shapes a post. With this many pieces, any shape that has no obvious home is worth a phone call before the parcel ships. Mention whether you also looked at the four-piece or six-piece listing, so all three can be compared in one call. The Fitment tab shows the EX rows as QAA cataloged them.

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.
