How to Install Volkswagen Pillar Covers

Clean the pillar surface

Wash the pillar area with soap and water. Remove any wax, grease or residue with isopropyl alcohol. The surface must be completely clean and dry before you start.

Measure and confirm fit

Check that the kit matches your year and model. Lay the pieces out before removing any backing to confirm coverage.

Peel and position

Remove the backing from the first piece. Position it carefully before pressing down. Pillar covers are forgiving but alignment matters.

Squeegee from center out

Use a soft squeegee or credit card to press the cover from the center toward the edges. Work out any air bubbles as you go.

Trim any overhang

Use a sharp razor blade to trim any edges that extend past the pillar. Cut along the body line for a clean result.

Apply heat to edges

Use a heat gun or hair dryer on low to warm the edges and help them conform to any curves or contours.

Inspect and press final edges

Run your finger along all edges to confirm full adhesion. Press down any areas that feel loose and apply heat if needed.

Tools needed: Isopropyl alcohol, microfiber cloth, squeegee or credit card, heat gun or hair dryer, sharp razor blade. All available in the Rvinyl install tools collection.

Year and Model Fit Matters

Volkswagen pillar covers are cut by year and model. A Golf set will not fit a Tiguan. Select your exact year and model before ordering.

Rvinyl organizes all pillar cover kits by year and model. Use the vehicle selector on the collection page to find kits that are confirmed to fit your specific Volkswagen. If you are unsure, contact Rvinyl before ordering.

Volkswagen Pillar Cover FAQs

What are Volkswagen pillar covers?

Volkswagen pillar covers are precut trim pieces that attach to the B-pillar, C-pillar and sometimes D-pillar of your vehicle. They cover faded, peeling or plain factory trim and give the exterior a cleaner, more finished look. Each kit is cut for a specific Volkswagen year and model.

What is the B-pillar on a Volkswagen?

The B-pillar is the vertical support between the front and rear doors on your Volkswagen. It is the most visible pillar from the side and is the most common area for pillar cover installs. On four-door vehicles, the C-pillar is behind the rear door.

Do Volkswagen pillar covers damage the paint?

No. Volkswagen pillar covers use a pressure-sensitive adhesive that bonds to the trim surface, not the painted body. When removed, they do not leave adhesive residue on the paint. They are designed for the trim panels, not the body.

How long does it take to install Volkswagen pillar covers?

Most Volkswagen pillar cover installs take 30 to 60 minutes. The process involves cleaning the surface, peeling the backing, positioning the cover and pressing it into place. No special tools are required.

Can I remove Volkswagen pillar covers after installing them?

Yes. Volkswagen pillar covers can be removed by peeling them back slowly. Use a heat gun or hair dryer to warm the adhesive before removal. This makes the process easier and reduces the chance of tearing the cover.

What finishes are available for Volkswagen pillar covers?

Rvinyl offers Volkswagen pillar covers in gloss black, matte black, carbon fiber, chrome and brushed aluminum. The most popular finish depends on the vehicle color and the look you want. Gloss black is the top seller for most Volkswagen models.

Do I need to select my exact Volkswagen year and model?

Yes. Volkswagen pillar covers are cut for a specific year and model. A kit for one Volkswagen model will not fit another. Always select your exact year and model before ordering to ensure the correct fit.

Can Volkswagen pillar covers cover faded trim?

Yes. That is one of the most common reasons Volkswagen owners install pillar covers. Faded, chalky or peeling factory trim is covered completely by the new pillar cover, restoring a clean appearance without replacing the trim panel.

David

Pillar Film Charger Material is a good look, however pieces not as good of a fit as I would have liked. Material is thin and any imperfections of pillars will still be seen. ie. flaking areas of original pillar shows outline under film. Prep solution wasn't enough for all pieces provided so hope it lasts and holds up.

Justin

It looked about like what I expected. Installing it was easy and it is still holding in place. The product really helped to cover those faded and scratched pillars. However, I was missing a couple of pieces. So, I contacted customer service and Mariel S. took care of me. She assured me that the missing pieces will be sent via mail. Overall, I had a good...

Somewhat pleased One strip was cut smaller on the left hand side. Called company and they were unwilling to replace at no charge. The glue stick was dried out. East installation but for $60 I expect perfect pieces. Displeased with customer service. Don’t waste your money.
