Product Description
Atlas Cross Sport Eight-Piece Pillar Post Trim, Polished 304 Stainless, 2020-2026 (PP70642)
Eight pieces of mirror stainless for the window pillars of the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport. PP70642 is listed for the 4-door Cross Sport SUV across model years 2020 through 2026, and it is the second-largest of the four pillar kits QAA catalogs for this vehicle.
Choosing between eight and ten
Most buyers considering this kit are also looking at the ten-piece PP70643. Both share fitment; the difference in the data is two pieces. QAA does not record which posts those two further pieces dress, so open both listings and compare the photos. If eight looks complete to you on the Cross Sport, there is no need to go further. The smaller options are PP70640 (four) and PP70641 (six).
Fitment
Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, 4-door SUV, model years 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026. No other vehicles are listed. The Fitment tab shows the record as QAA keeps it.
The material story
QAA cuts these covers from 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge in the USA and polishes them to a reflective finish. There is no chrome layer, so every one of the eight covers shares the same shine and there is nothing to peel.
What changes, and what does not
The look changes: the pillars, the vertical posts around the side windows, gain a bright stainless outline. Nothing else does. The covers are cosmetic and sit over the factory surface, which stays intact.
Mounting
The Atlas Cross Sport's eight covers bond over the existing pillar surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states that tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the Volkswagen.
A practical install plan
Set out all eight pieces on a towel by position. Wash, dry, and de-wax the pillars. Dry-fit each cover to confirm its position, then peel and press firmly along its length. Fit one, step back, and match the next to it. Work on a dry, moderate day and avoid washing for a few days. The Installation tab gives the full procedure.
Why the dry-fit matters most
The tape bonds firmly once pressed, which is exactly what you want after the cover is in position. That is why the minute you spend holding each piece in place first is the most valuable part of the job. If a piece does not sit naturally, recheck it before committing.
Cleaning
Rinse away grit, wash with mild soap, and dry with a soft towel. Avoid abrasive pads and polishing compounds, and dry the covers to keep water spots away.
Who picks eight
Owners who want a confident stainless look but stop short of the fullest set. It also suits anyone planning to fit other stainless trim and wanting the pillars to hold their own. And for Atlas Cross Sport buyers who want more than the six-piece set without going to ten, eight is a comfortable middle ground between restraint and boldness.

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.
