Product Description
PP13168: Ten-Piece Stainless Pillar Trim for the 2013-2018 Toyota Avalon, Includes Front Triangle Piece
The biggest Avalon pillar set on this sheet is PP13168, with ten pieces of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. Its note reads "Includes Front Triangle piece", and its row lists the Toyota Avalon 4-door sedan for 2013 through 2018.
Front triangle, and the open question. The note tells us one piece is a front triangle. It doesn't tell us whether the set also includes the rear triangle piece that the eight-piece PP13167's note mentions. Ten is more than eight, but we won't assume the larger set contains everything in the smaller one. If you want both triangle pieces, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP13168 before ordering, and we'll confirm what you'd receive. We've also asked for the notes to be made clearer.
The other sets. PP13165 (four pieces) and PP13166 (six pieces) have no notes. PP13167 (eight pieces) notes a Rear Triangle piece. None of the four names its pillars, so compare all the photos with your car and choose one set.
Other Avalon parts listed. TH13165 is a 4-piece rocker panel insert kit, "Side Molding", at 1.187. RD13165 is a 1-piece rear deck accent, GC13165 a 1-piece gas door cover trim and LP13165 a 1-piece license plate bezel. RB13165, TR13165 and WQ13165 are by number only.
Fit check. Avalon, 4-door sedan, 2013-2018. Avalons from 2013 to 2018 take the ten-piece version.
Attachment. All ten Avalon covers mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing post surface; nothing is drilled or removed from the sedan.
Prep. Wash with a gentle car soap, rinse and dry. Wipe with isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth and let it evaporate. Remove wax or coating where the tape will go.
Organising ten pieces. Lay them out as the photos show, and pick out the triangle piece first. Its shape leaves little room for error, so dry-fit it carefully with the liner on and check all its edges before marking it. Then work through the rest: hold, compare, mark both ends with painter's tape, and write the location on the liner. Dry-fit everything before you peel.
Pressing. One liner at a time. Align, press firmly from end to end, and go round every edge with your thumb. With five Avalon covers fitted, step back and align the remaining five to them. The Installation tab lists the temperature range and cure time.
When to stop. If a piece won't sit flush, keep the liner on, photograph it in place and call us.
Light and help. Shade or a garage, and a helper to pass pieces and check alignment from a distance.
Upkeep. All ten pieces clean up with mild soap and a soft cloth.
The data and the note can be found on the Fitment and Specs tabs.
Tools. Bucket, car soap, towels, isopropyl alcohol, a lint-free cloth, painter's tape, a pen, a step stool and the photos on your phone. Count all ten against the photos when you open the box.

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.
