Product Description
Toyota Avalon 2001-2004 Pillar Post Trim, Four Pieces (PP22125)
PP22125 is a four-piece polished stainless pillar post set for the 2001-2004 Toyota Avalon 4-door sedan, listed at $56.99 and made in the USA. The sheet pairs it with a six-piece set, PP22126.
The row is short and specific: Toyota Avalon, 2001-2004, 4-door, Sedan, four model years. This set isn't listed for any other Avalon years, so a look at your records are the first step. If your year falls outside, or you'd like a second opinion, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and quote PP22125.
The two Avalon listings for these years don't describe their covers. No notes, no widths, no names for the pillars. You're told four and six, and that's all. The photos fill the gap. Compare this gallery with the six-piece one, spot any outline that's only in the larger set, and decide whether you'd like stainless there as well. If you're happy without it, four covers makes for a quick install. The six-piece Avalon gallery is worth comparing with this one before you buy.
The covers are 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished. Because stainless is bright by itself, no plating is needed, and there's nothing on the surface to peel or dull. They attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface. You won't drill, and the Avalon's original trim stays where it is.
Taped trim only holds as well as the surface it's on, so look at the pillars before you buy. A car from these years may have pillar finishes that have faded to a chalky surface, or crazed, or started to lift at an edge. Those need repair before fitting. A firm, smooth finish is ready after a thorough clean. If you're not sure what you're looking at, call for advice.
The Installation tab sets the tape's temperature range and cure time. Read it first, and plan for a dry, calm day in the shade.
On the day
Put a towel down and unpack the four covers onto it. Compare each with the photos. A bent or missing piece is worth a call before you start cleaning.
Wash each pillar with mild car soap, rinse it and dry it. Then wipe it down with isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth. Older finishes tend to hold on to old wax, so keep switching to clean cloths until one comes away clean, and let the surface dry.
Compare the covers with the photos. Hold the first one in place with its liner on, adjust until both edges sit naturally, and mark round it with painter's tape. Peel the liner, set the cover inside the marks and press with firm, even strokes from end to end and along each edge. Fit the next cover straight away, so you can compare the two, and then do the last two.
Step back and look along the car. If a cover won't lie flat, keep its liner on and phone 877-752-3811 rather than pressing harder.
After the cure time, wash with ordinary car soap and dry with a soft towel. The steel needs nothing else to keep its polish.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 4 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.
