Product Description
Honda Pilot 2016-2022 Ten-Piece Pillar Trim, Front Pillar Included (PP16263)
The note on PP16263 is short and useful: "Includes Front Pillar behind the mirror." This ten-piece set is the largest of four pillar post listings for the 2016-2022 Honda Pilot 4-door SUV, and the only one that names that front pillar.
The front pillar behind the mirror
None of the other Pilot sets mentions it. The four-piece PP16260 has a different note ("Includes top crease"), and the six- and eight-piece PP16261 and PP16262 have no notes at all. So if you want a stainless cover on the pillar behind the side mirror, this is the listing that says it's in the box. The catalog doesn't name the other nine covers, so use the gallery to see their outlines, and compare it with the eight-piece photos to spot what's different. Ten covers is the biggest Pilot set; compare galleries before ordering a second listing.
What it's made from
Ten covers in 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished, made in the USA. The finish is the metal itself rather than a plated coat, so there's no surface layer to chip.
Attachment
3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, applied directly over the existing surface. No drilling and no removing trim. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and cure time.
Fitment
Honda Pilot, 2016 through 2022, 4-door, SUV. That's the whole row. If your vehicle is outside it, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP16263 before ordering. At $111.99 it's the biggest Pilot pillar purchase, so a quick call is worth it if you're unsure.
Working near the mirror
The front pillar cover sits close to the side mirror, so give yourself room. Fold the mirror in if your Pilot allows it, and clean that area carefully, since dust gathers in tight corners. When you dry-fit, hold the cover in place and check that it clears the mirror base before marking its position. Take your time with this piece and look at it twice.
The rest of the job
Wash, rinse and dry all the pillar areas. Wipe each with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth and let it flash. Remove wax or coatings where tape will go. Lay the ten covers on a towel, match them to the photos, and dry-fit each one with its liner on, marking every spot with painter's tape. Peel and press one at a time, firm along the length and both edges. Polished stainless is the finish on the ten Pilot covers.

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.
