Product Description
Toyota C-HR 2018-2023 Twelve-Piece Pillar Trim (PP18144)
At twelve covers, PP18144 is the most complete pillar set QAA lists for the 2018-2023 Toyota C-HR 4-door crossover SUV. It's polished 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, and listed at $117.49.
Twelve covers on a compact list of facts: the listing has no notes, no width and no names for the pillars. Its four smaller siblings (PP18140 through PP18143, at four, six, eight and ten pieces) are just as sparse, apart from a "With Top Trim Crease" note on the four-piece set that this one doesn't share. So the photos have to do the explaining. Go through this gallery and the ten-piece one and find the shapes unique to each. If the twelve here cover everything you want, buy this set on its own; look at each set's photos side by side.
There's one more overlap to rule out. The twenty-piece WP18140 window trim package says it includes pillar posts as well as upper trim and sills. Pairing it with this set could mean two lots of pillar covers, so pick one or call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP18144 before ordering both. The two smaller packages, WP18141 and WP18142, both state they have no pillar posts.
Fitment is one row: Toyota C-HR, 2018-2023, 4-door, Crossover SUV. Check your year, and call if your vehicle is anything other than that row.
Mounting is 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface. No drilling and nothing removed. The covers are 26 gauge stainless with no plating, so the polish won't flake. The Installation tab lists the temperature range and cure time.
Also linked to the C-HR sheet, by number only: WS18140, TH18140, FV18140, DH18140, RD18140 and LP18140.
Planning a twelve-piece install
This is the longest job in the family, so give it a proper day. Dry, mild weather and a shady spot are ideal, and a helper makes a real difference: one person holds and judges alignment while the other presses.
When the box arrives, spread all twelve covers on a towel and count them. Match each to its photo, and keep the twelve in that order. If anything is bent or missing, call before you start.
Wash every pillar area with car shampoo, rinse and dry with a microfibre. Wipe each spot with isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth and let it flash. Strip wax, sealant or ceramic coating wherever tape will sit.
Map the entire set before peeling anything. With liners on, try each cover against the vehicle until you're sure of its place, mark it with painter's tape and write the location on the liner. On a set this size, mapping first is what keeps the job orderly.
Then press, one by one: peel, align, firm pressure from end to end and along both edges. Step back every few covers to check the lines run true. Stainless steel makes up all twelve C-HR covers.
If any piece won't seat, keep its liner on and phone 877-752-3811. Once cured, wash with regular car soap.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 12 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.
