Product Description
Mercedes GLK Class 2010-2016 Stainless Pillar Post Trim, 8 Pieces (PP10005)
PP10005 is an eight-piece set of polished stainless pillar post trim for the Mercedes GLK Class, model years 2010 through 2016, tagged 4-door SUV. Pillar post trim is the flat trim that dresses the posts around the side windows; this set covers eight of those surfaces in 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. The listing doesn't say which pillar each piece belongs to, so the product photos are your map.
Fitment
One row: Mercedes GLK Class, 2010-2016, 4-door, SUV. The title gives the same years. The GLK row runs 2010 to 2016. If your vehicle falls outside that range, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP10005 before ordering. GLK surface prep is laid out on the Installation tab.
What's on the record
- Eight pieces
- 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished finish
- All eight pieces are made in the USA
- 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape bonds them over the existing surface
- No notes, no width listed
Direct-over-surface mounting means no drilling and nothing to remove. GLK fit questions can go to 877-752-3811. This sheet shows no other parts cross-listed for the GLK, and no other piece counts of pillar trim, so this is the only pillar set we can point you to from here.
Sort before you peel
Eight pieces that look alike at a glance are the main challenge. Lay them out on a clean towel. Use the photos to match each piece to its pillar, and hold each one up to the vehicle with the liner on to confirm. Then write the position on the liner: which door and whether it's the front or rear edge. Some pieces may look alike and are easy to swap, so check the curve and angle of each against its spot.
Preparing the pillars
Wash each pillar with soapy water and let it dry. Wipe with rubbing alcohol, paying attention to the edges near the window seals where dirt collects, and let it flash off. If a coating or wax has been applied, remove it from the pillar surface first. Check for chips or lifting finish on the pillars and repair them before the stainless goes on.
Installing
Work one door at a time. Hold a piece in place with its liner on and check the alignment with the edges of the pillar; the margins should look even along the length. Peel the liner, start at one end, and press the piece into place, working toward the other end with firm, steady pressure. Run your fingers along the edges to seat them. Move to the next piece on the same door, then finish that door before starting the next. When all eight are on, walk around the SUV and compare every cover. Choose a dry day inside the Installation tab's temperature range.
Care
Wash with mild soap and water and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and steel wool. If you use a window cleaner on the glass nearby, wipe any overspray off the stainless.

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.
