PP26180: Four-Piece Pillar Post Trim for the 2006-2012 Toyota RAV4
Three linked pillar sets are listed for the 2006-2012 Toyota RAV4, and PP26180 has the fewest covers: four, for $67.99. The others are PP26181 with six and PP26182 with eight. All three share the 4-door, SUV tag and the same seven model years, and all are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless made in the USA.
Since none of the three names its pillars or gives a width, the decision comes down to pictures. Open the three galleries together and study each outline. Ask where every piece would go on your RAV4 and whether you want polished steel there. Four pieces keep the job short and the cost down. If one of the other sets' photos fits your plans better, choose it instead. Order one listing.
A Rav4 dated 2006 to 2012 takes PP26180, so check the year on your registration before ordering. If it doesn't fall within 2006-2012, look elsewhere. For any question about fit or count, call Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 with PP26180.
Pillar covers change how the posts between the side windows look, and nothing else. A slim stainless panel goes over each one; doors, glass and seals stay untouched. Grade 304 stainless resists corrosion without plating, so there's no coating to flake off. All it needs is a wash with car soap.
Four strips of 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, one per cover, press directly over the existing surface of the RAV4's posts. Nothing is drilled and the Toyota's trim stays on. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and cure time.
A RAV4 from 2006-2012 may show its age on the posts: a pale, chalky look, fine crazing, an edge beginning to lift, or wax from years of washes. The tape bonds to that surface, so put those right first. Then soap, rinse, dry, and wipe each post with rubbing alcohol until a clean cloth stays white. A small step stool helps if the upper edges are hard to see from the ground.
You'll need little more than soap, a bucket, alcohol, cloths and painter's tape. A helper is optional with four covers, though a second person standing a few paces in front of the RAV4 makes it easier to tell whether the covers match.
Choose a calm, dry day with the RAV4 in shade. Compare the four covers with the gallery and call about anything bent or missing. Begin at the front pair: liner on, hold the first Rav4 cover to its post, even the gaps, and trace it; mark the second the same way and check both from ahead of the SUV. Peel, press each firmly from end to end and along both edges, and move on to the rear pair.
If a cover won't lie flat, keep its liner on and phone 877-752-3811. Keep the RAV4 dry until the cure time passes. Before ordering, give each of the four shapes in the gallery a post on your Rav4, and check the year at the same time.

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.
