Volkswagen Door Pillar Post Trim Set - Genuine VW 1J4867298BB41

Product Information

A door pillar post trim set is the collection of decorative and protective panels that cover the vertical structural posts between a vehicle’s front and rear doors, commonly referred to as the B-pillars. These trim pieces provide a finished appearance, often styled in body color, chrome, or blacked-out finishes, while also helping protect the underlying metal from scratches, weathering, and corrosion. They can also reduce wind noise by smoothing airflow around the pillars and, in some vehicles, contribute to housing seals or clips for weatherstripping.

• Peeling, fading, or cracking of the trim surface, which affects appearance and may expose bare metal.
• Loose or detached trim panels that rattle or vibrate while driving.
• Increased wind noise or minor water leaks if the trim no longer holds seals properly.

About Genuine VW

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VW” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VW, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VW Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VW are not necessarily manufactured by VW. No cause for concern, as VW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine VW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming directly from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
