Product Description
PP28835 Kia Sportage Four-Piece Pillar Trim, 2005-2010
For a 2005-2010 Kia Sportage, PP28835 fits four polished stainless covers to the pillar posts. The listing tags the vehicle 4-door, SUV and prices the set at $67.99. Steel: type 304, 26 gauge. Made in the USA.
Your Sportage's model year should sit between 2005 and 2010. Title and record agree on that, and no other model appears. Glance at your records; if your Sportage falls outside those six years, contact Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 with PP28835 before buying.
Two related listings deserve a look. PP28836 is the six-cover pillar set, costing more. WP28835 is a window trim package for the same SUV, noted "Includes Upper Trim and Pillar Posts, NO Window Sills". Nothing in the listings compares the package's pillar pieces with this set, so if both appeal, line up the photographs or phone before ordering; it would be a shame to pay twice for the same posts.
None of the pillar listings identifies which pillars it covers, and none gives widths. That leaves the galleries. Stand by your Sportage, scroll through each, and decide which suits the posts you want brightened. Order one.
The covers are cosmetic facings. They rest on the posts between the side windows, while hinges, glass and seals carry on unchanged. Corrosion resistance is built into the 304 alloy rather than painted or plated on, so routine washing keeps them looking right.
Fitting relies on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface. There's no drilling and no trim to unclip. See the Installation tab for the temperature range and cure time.
Prep is easy to rush, so give it real time. Run your fingers along each post: if it feels waxy, looks chalky, shows a crack or has a corner lifting, sort that out first. Then a car-shampoo wash, a complete dry, and an isopropyl wipe on a lint-free cloth.
When the covers arrive, compare each with the gallery; anything bent or missing means a phone call before you carry on. Compare the Sportage covers with the listing images. With the liners still on, hold each in place and box it in with painter's tape. Stand in front of the Sportage, then behind it, and check the covers match. Peel and press one cover at a time, pushing firmly along its length and both edges.
If a cover sits proud, keep its liner on and ring 877-752-3811. A dry, mild day out of direct sun is ideal; a step stool helps if the upper edges are hard to see from the ground. Keep rain and the hose off until the cure time has passed.
Before checkout, match each of the four pictured shapes to a post on your SUV. If one has no obvious home on your Sportage, call first. Have the model year and part number ready, and say whether you were also weighing the six-piece set or the window package; then every option can be compared in the same call rather than over several.

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.
