Product Description
PP27825 Kia Rondo Four-Piece Pillar Post Trim, 2007-2009
PP27825 is a four-piece set of polished stainless pillar covers for the Kia Rondo, listed for 2007-2009 and tagged 4-door, Wagon. It costs $67.99 and is made in the USA from 26 gauge 304 stainless steel.
The fitment window is three model years, and the title matches the record. With a range that short, the year check is worth doing properly: confirm it in your records. A Rondo from outside 2007-2009 isn't covered by this listing. If that's yours, or you're not sure, call Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 and quote PP27825 before you order.
The catalog links one other pillar listing for this wagon, PP27826, with six covers. Neither says which pillars its covers fit or gives widths. The photos are the guide: compare both galleries with the posts on your Rondo and decide how much polished steel you want along the side windows. If four covers cover the posts you care about, this is the cheaper choice. Order one listing only.
The covers change appearance and nothing else. Each is a thin polished panel that sits on a post between the side windows. The doors, glass and rubber seals work just as before. Grade 304 stainless resists corrosion by itself, with no plated coating to wear through, so washing keeps it bright.
Fitting uses 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface. You won't need to drill, and none of the original trim is removed. The Installation tab sets out the temperature range and cure time.
Give the posts a careful once-over first. A Rondo from these years may have wax build-up, a sun-dulled or chalky finish, a hairline crack or an edge beginning to lift. The tape bonds to whatever surface is there, so sort those out. Then wash with car soap, dry thoroughly, and wipe each post with rubbing alcohol on a clean, lint-free cloth.
Check the four covers against the gallery as soon as they arrive, and phone if any is bent or missing. Hold the four Rondo covers against the gallery. With the backing on, hold each cover in position and outline it with painter's tape. Look along the wagon from the front and back to confirm the outlines match. Then peel and press one cover at a time, firmly along its length and both edges.
If a cover won't sit flat, leave its backing on and ring 877-752-3811. A dry, mild, shaded day suits the job, ideally with no wind to blow dust onto the cleaned posts. Keep the Rondo out of rain until the cure time on the Installation tab has passed, then wash the covers along with the paint.
Before ordering, take the four-piece gallery out to the car on your phone and match each shape to a post. If any seems wrong for your Rondo, call first. Have the year and the part number ready, and mention whether you were also looking at the six-piece set, so both listings can be discussed in one call.

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.
