Product Description
Ford Escape 2013-2019 Eight-Piece Pillar Post Trim with Rear Pillar Piece (PP53362)
PP53362 is the only eight-cover pillar set linked for the Ford Escape. It costs $95.49, the covers are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel made in the USA, and the fitment row reads Ford Escape 2013-2019, tagged 4-door, SUV. The record carries one note, worded exactly as "Includes rear rear Pillar piece."
About that note. The doubled "rear" is how the record spells it; we've quoted it as given. It tells you a rear pillar piece is part of the eight, but not its shape or exactly where it sits. The gallery is where to see it.
No keyless wording. Unlike most Escape sets, this one says nothing about the keyless entry touch pad. Several of its siblings do. PP53360, PP53361 and PP53363 are noted as including the touch pad; PP53364 and PP53365 as not including it; PP53367 as "No keyless entry access." PP53366, a six-cover set, has no notes at all. Because the record is silent here, if your Escape has a keyless entry touch pad, please call us before ordering so we can look at the photos with you.
Other Escape trim. The record links door handle accents (DH53360), a gas door cover (GC53360), a rear deck accent (RD53360), rocker panel trim (TH53360), a trunk accent (TP53360), wheel well trim (WQ53360) and a window sill set (WS53360), all on their own listings.
Year and phone. 2013 through 2019, from the row. Quality Automotive Trims, 877-752-3811; quote PP53362 and your year.
Appearance only. The covers dress the posts and leave the doors, glass and seals working as before. 304 stainless resists corrosion through its alloy.
Mounting. All eight mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the posts' existing paint or trim. No drilling, no trim removal. See the Installation tab for temperatures and cure time.
Prep. With eight posts, the rear pillar included, budget plenty of time. Wash with car-soap water, rinse and dry. Lift wax and polish, and repair any paint that's chalking, crazing or flaking. Degrease every post with rubbing alcohol on lint-free cloth until fresh cloth stays clean, and feel for dents. Set out painter's tape, a pencil and a clean towel.
Fitting. Pick a still, dry day in shade. Lay the eight out with the gallery, rear pillar piece included, and report any damage first. Dry-fit each with the liner on, nudge it until the border is even and mask round it, numbering every mask. Then, cover by cover, peel the liner, drop it into its mask and press firmly along the face and both edges. Remove the masks at the end and check each border.
If one won't seat. A cover that lifts at an end, or won't close up along an edge, shouldn't be forced; that goes for the rear pillar piece as much as the others. Leave its liner on, put it to one side on a clean towel and give us a call on 877-752-3811, and we'll go through it with you. Once the tape under the rest has cured, washing the eight with car soap and water and drying them with a soft towel is all the care they need.

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.
