Product Description
PP13428 Ten-Piece Pillar Post Trim with the Piece Behind the Front Mirror
The one fact that sets PP13428 apart is its note: "Includes the piece behind the front mirror." With ten covers, it's also the larger of the two pillar sets on its sheet. Every piece is 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished, made in the USA, and it's titled for the 2012-2016 Subaru Impreza.
The mirror piece, explained plainly. The note tells you a cover for the area behind each front mirror is in the box. It doesn't give that piece's shape or size, so look at the listing photos to see it before you order. The eight-piece PP13427, the only other pillar set on this sheet, carries no note, so its listing doesn't say whether that piece is part of it.
Three nameplates on the rows. The title names the Impreza Sport, the Crosstrek and the XV Crosstrek, and here's what the Fitment tab lists:
- Subaru Impreza Sport, 2012-2016
- Subaru Crosstrek, 2016-2020
- Subaru XV Crosstrek, 2013-2015
- Subaru Crosstrek, 2016-2023
All four rows are tagged 4-door. The first three share one blended tag list, Hatchback, "Sport only" and Crossover SUV, while the last row says just Crossover SUV. We can't tell from the data which tag belongs to which model, and we've logged that. If you have any Impreza other than the Sport, phone 877-752-3811 and give the number PP13428 so we can confirm before you buy.
Ten versus eight. Choose between PP13428 and PP13427 by photos, not by guesswork. Neither listing names its pillars. Settle on one set after comparing photos.
How it mounts. 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface. You won't drill anything or take off any trim.
Getting it clean. Hand-wash the pillars and the area around the mirrors with a mild shampoo, rinse, and dry. Wipe again with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth and wait for it to evaporate. Remove any wax or coating where tape will sit.
Placing ten pieces without mix-ups. Spread the covers on a towel and match each to its spot by holding it up with the backing on. Write the spot on each backing as you go. Do the mirror pieces last, once the larger covers are set, so you can line them up against their neighbors. Painter's tape at each end helps you hold the position while you peel. Press every cover firmly from one end to the other, including along both edges. The Installation tab lists the temperature range and how long the bond needs.
Why polished 304. The ten covers are cut from 26 gauge polished 304 stainless, a thin sheet that sits close to the pillar. Since it's metal all the way through, a light scuff during handling won't expose a different color underneath.
Before checkout. Check the model name, the year and that it's the 4-door, all against the fitment row, and call us with any doubt. When it arrives, count all ten against the photos. Keep it bright with gentle soap and a soft cloth.

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.
