Product Description
Eight-Piece Polished Stainless Pillar Post Set for the Infiniti QX50 (PP14042)
PP14042 dresses the pillars of a 2014-2017 Infiniti QX50 with eight polished covers. The metal is 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. The fitment row, Infiniti QX50 2014-2017, tagged 4-door and SUV, matches the title exactly.
Choosing your count
| Set | Pieces | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PP14040 | 4 | none |
| PP14041 | 6 | none |
| PP14042 (this page) | 8 | none |
| PP14043 | 10 | none |
Because none of the four listings has a note or names its pillars, the table only tells you how many covers come in each box. To see what those covers are, open the photo galleries and compare outlines. Some shapes may appear in one set and not another. Choose a single set that covers the posts you want; check the photos before you order.
Mounting
3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, laid directly over the existing surface. No holes to drill, no trim to remove.
The metal
Polished 304 stainless carries no plating, so it won't peel, and since it's the same metal through its thickness, a light scratch doesn't show another color. A 26 gauge sheet keeps each cover slim.
Surface prep
Wash the pillars with car shampoo and plenty of water. Rinse, dry with a microfiber, and then wipe with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth. Let it evaporate. Remove wax or a ceramic coating where the tape will land.
An eight-cover plan
Spread the covers on a towel and match each to its photo. Work around the QX50 one post at a time. Hold each cover in place with its backing on, sight along its edges until it follows the post, and mark both ends with painter's tape. Write the spot on the backing in pencil. When a few covers are mapped, map the rest the same way and compare. Only then begin peeling: one backing, one cover, firm pressure from end to end and along each edge, then the next cover. The Installation tab lists the temperature range and cure time.
Conditions and tools
Choose a dry day and a shaded spot or garage. Have a bucket, towels, the alcohol and cloth, painter's tape and a pencil ready, plus a step stool for the upper ends.
Why eight might suit you
Eight is a middle ground on this sheet: more covers than the four- and six-piece sets, two fewer than the ten. If the photos show that eight covers the pillars you care about, there's no reason to pay for more pieces. If they show a shape you want that only appears in the ten-piece set, order that one instead. Let the pictures decide, not the count.
Year range
The row runs 2014 through 2017. The sheet lists no other QX50 years for this part, so don't assume a neighboring year shares these pillars.
Checks
Only QX50s from 2014 to 2017 are listed for the eight pieces. On arrival, count eight covers against the photos. If something looks wrong, leave the backing on and call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP14042. Keep it clean with mild soap and a soft cloth.

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.
