Product Description
Fourteen-Piece Stainless Pillar Trim for the 2015-2019 Subaru Outback (PP16483)
At fourteen covers, PP16483 is by far the largest Outback pillar set QAA lists. It's made for the 2015-2019 Subaru Outback 4-door crossover SUV, in polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel made in the USA.
Six more than the next set
The Outback family reads 4, 6, 8, then 14. The jump from the eight-piece PP16482 to this set is six covers, larger than any other step. The listings don't explain the gap; none of the four has notes, a width or pillar names. The photos are where you'll see it. Open this gallery next to the eight-piece one and pick out the shapes that only appear here. If those are pieces you want, this is the set. If not, a smaller set may suit you better. Fourteen pieces is the largest Outback set; its photos show the coverage, and we can confirm by phone.
Worth a call first
This is the biggest Outback pillar purchase at $117.49. If you have any doubt about fit or about which shapes are in the box, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP16483 before ordering. The single fitment row is Subaru Outback 2015-2019, tagged 4-door and Crossover SUV; nothing else is listed.
Mounting
Each cover bonds with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface. There's no drilling, and no trim comes off. Because the finish is polished steel rather than plating, there's no coating to lift later.
Planning a fourteen-piece job
Treat this as a proper project. Choose a dry, mild day, work in shade, and check the temperature range on the Installation tab before you start. Leave the vehicle parked and dry afterwards for the cure time listed there. A helper makes a real difference with this many covers: one person holds and checks alignment while the other presses.
Cleaning
Wash every pillar area with car shampoo, rinse and dry with a microfibre towel. Wipe each spot with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free rag and let it evaporate. Remove wax, sealant or ceramic coating where tape will sit.
Mapping before peeling
Unpack all fourteen on a soft towel and count them. Compare each to the photos. Then, with the liners still on, test each cover against the car until you're sure of its spot, mark that spot with painter's tape, and write the location on the liner. Don't peel anything until every cover has a home; on a set this size, mapping first is what stops the job turning into guesswork.
Pressing
Work one cover at a time. Peel, align with your marks, set it down and press firmly along the full length and both edges. Compare each new cover with the others before you move on. Step back every few covers and look along the side of the vehicle to check that the lines run true.
The sheet lists no other Outback trim besides the pillar sets. If a cover won't sit flat or you can't place it, leave the liner on and call 877-752-3811.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 14 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.
