PP16256: Ten-Piece Stainless Pillar Covers for the 2016-2022 Honda HR-V
PP16256 is the full-size option in QAA's HR-V pillar trim: ten polished covers for the 2016-2022 Honda HR-V 4-door crossover SUV. The only other HR-V pillar listing is the four-piece PP16255, so this set has six more pieces than its sibling.
What the extra six mean
The catalog doesn't say. Neither HR-V set has notes or names the pillars it dresses, and there's no width on either. The honest answer is in the photos: open the ten-piece gallery and the four-piece one together, and the outlines that appear only here are what the higher count buys. That's worth doing before you order, because at $111.99 this is a bigger purchase, and you'll want to be sure those shapes are ones you want on the car. Torn between this ten-piece HR-V set and the four? Their photos, or 877-752-3811, will settle it.
Does it fit?
One row, no exceptions listed: Honda HR-V, 2016-2022, 4-door, Crossover SUV. HR-Vs built from 2016 through 2022 are on the row. If your vehicle isn't on that row, or something about it doesn't match, ring Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and give them PP16256.
Built from 304 stainless
Ten covers in 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished and made in the USA. The brightness comes from polishing the steel itself, not from a coat on top, so there's nothing to wear through. The covers go on with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface: no drilling, nothing removed.
Setting up for ten covers
This is a longer job than the four-piece set, so plan it rather than rushing. Choose a dry day and a spot out of hard sun, check the temperature window on the Installation tab, and leave the HR-V parked dry afterwards for the cure time listed there. Two people make it smoother: one holds the next cover while the other presses.
- Wash the pillar areas, rinse and towel dry.
- Wipe each with rubbing alcohol on a clean rag and let it flash off.
- Remove wax, sealant or ceramic coating where tape will land.
- Lay out all ten on a towel and match them to the photos.
- Dry-fit each with the backing on, and mark its spot with painter's tape.
What pillar trim does
Pillar posts are the upright sections between and beside the side windows. A pillar cover is a thin piece shaped to lie over one of them, giving that panel a polished stainless face. It bonds on top of what's there and leaves the structure untouched. The HR-V sheet lists only the two pillar sets, so ask by phone if you'd like more trim.
Bonding them
Work one cover at a time. Peel the backing, align with your marks, then press hard from end to end and along both edges. Compare each new cover with the ones already on before moving on. Pencil notes on the backings help you keep ten pieces straight.
If a cover doesn't match any pillar on your HR-V, stop with the backing on and phone 877-752-3811. It's easier to sort out before the tape touches anything.

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.
