Product Description
Eight-Piece Pillar Post Trim in Polished Stainless, Lincoln MKX 2016-2018 and Nautilus (PP56662)
PP56662 is the eight-piece member of QAA's pillar kit family for the Lincoln MKX and Lincoln Nautilus. QAA catalogs it for the 4-door MKX SUV from 2016 to 2018 and for the 4-door Nautilus SUV from 2019. With eight pieces of polished 304 stainless, it finishes a large share of the window frame in bright steel.
Reading the Nautilus fitment
QAA's data records the Nautilus in two separate entries: 2019-2020 and 2019-2023. Both appear in the Fitment tab exactly as cataloged. We do not try to reconcile them on QAA's behalf. Owners of a 2019 or 2020 Nautilus are covered by both entries; owners of a 2021, 2022, or 2023 Nautilus fall only under the wider one, so we recommend a quick call to confirm before ordering.
Eight pieces among four kits
QAA makes four pillar kits for these SUVs. PP56660 has four pieces, PP56661 has six, this kit has eight, and PP56663 has ten. The ten-piece kit is noted as including the front pillar behind the mirror; the others carry no coverage notes. In other words, if the front pillar behind the mirror is the area you want covered, this eight-piece kit is not the one. If you are happy without that piece and want a generous amount of steel, eight pieces is a strong choice. The listing photos show the layouts side by side.
What pillars are
Pillars are the vertical body sections that hold up the roof between and around the side windows. Pillar trim is a thin cosmetic cover for them. Polished steel there outlines the glass and gives the side of a Lincoln SUV a crisp, tailored look.
Material
QAA makes these eight pieces in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a mirror shine. Solid stainless means the shine is not a coating and every piece matches the rest.
Installation
Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and installs directly over the existing pillar surface. No trim removal. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the surface of the vehicle. Eight pieces is easiest to manage if you sort them by position first, clean every pillar thoroughly, and test-fit before peeling. Fit each of the eight MKX covers in turn, checking it against the photos. The Installation tab covers each step.
Rounding out the look
QAA lists more parts for this SUV family: a gas door cover (GC56660), a rear bumper trim accent (RB56660) measuring 2.75 inches by 42 inches, a rear deck accent (RD56660) measuring 0.625 inches by 46.3 inches, and a 4-piece lower rocker panel kit (TH56660) with a 3.75-inch span up from the bottom of the door. Combining the pillar kit with the rocker trim carries the bright finish from the roofline to the bottom of the doors.

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.
