Product Description
PP11343: Ten-Piece Stainless Pillar Post Trim for the Hyundai Elantra 4-Door Sedan, 2011-2013
PP11343 is the most complete pillar post set QAA lists for the 2011-2013 Hyundai Elantra 4-door sedan, with ten pieces of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel made in the USA. The fitment row and the title agree on the car and the years.
Ten is a number worth noticing on this sheet. Two of the Elantra window trim packages say they include "10 piece Pillar Posts": WP11340, the 20-piece FULL Package that also has 6 piece Upper Trim and 4 piece Window Sills, and WP11342, the 14-piece package with Upper Trim and pillar posts but NO Window Sills. The catalog doesn't say whether the pillar posts in those packages are this exact set. It's a reasonable thing to wonder about, but we won't claim it. In practice, if you're buying WP11340 or WP11342, compare the photos before ordering PP11343 too. Call to confirm.
The other two packages work the opposite way. WP11341 (Upper Trim plus Window Sills) and WP11343 (Upper Trim only) both have NO Pillar Posts, and their notes say they are not for use without a Pillar Post kit sold separately. The notes don't name a kit, so we'd rather check with you by phone than guess which set completes them.
Smaller pillar sets for the same car are PP11340 (four pieces), PP11341 (six) and PP11342 (eight). None of the four listings says which pillars are included, so the photos are your guide.
Install notes
Mounting: each Elantra cover attaches with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing pillar surface, with no drilling and nothing removed.
Prep: soap and water wash, rinse, towel dry, then a rubbing alcohol wipe. Coatings and wax must come off the tape area.
Fit: with ten pieces, a few look alike. Lay them out in order before you start, check each against its pillar with the liner on, and write its location on the liner. Painter's tape at each end shows where it goes once the liner is off.
Press: one piece at a time, firm pressure along the whole length, then both edges. Work on a dry day within the range the Installation tab gives, and wait the listed cure time before washing.
Care
Clean with mild soap and a soft cloth; steel wool and scouring pads are off limits.

Confirm before ordering. Check that your car is a 4-door Elantra sedan in the 2011-2013 range by reading your records. Then decide on the window packages first, since that choice tells you whether you need a separate pillar set at all. If the package you want already includes pillar posts, you can skip this one. If it says a pillar kit is sold separately, this ten-piece set is one of four sizes to consider, and a quick call settles which.
Tools. For the Elantra: bucket, sponge, microfiber towels, rubbing alcohol, painter's tape, a liner marker and the product photos on your phone.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 10 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.
