Product Description
PP28450 Subaru Tribeca Pillar Trim, Four Polished Pieces, 2008-2014
Subaru's Tribeca gets three pillar listings in this catalog, and PP28450 is the four-piece one. It costs $67.99, it's tagged 4-door, SUV for 2008-2014, and the covers are made from 26 gauge 304 stainless steel in the USA with a polished face.
Seven model years, one nameplate, no conflicts between title and record. For PP28450, the Tribeca needs a 2008 to 2014 model year. A Tribeca built for an earlier year isn't part of this listing; neither is anything after 2014. Owners in either position can ring Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811, citing PP28450.
Comparing counts is the harder part. PP28451 carries six covers and PP28452 eight, both for the same SUV. Not one of the three listings identifies its pillars by name or gives a measurement. You'll be judging from pictures, so give them proper attention: scroll each gallery while standing by the Tribeca and see which arrangement suits you. Of the three, four pieces is the most affordable route. Settle on a single listing.
Nothing functional is involved. A cover is simply a bright steel face laid over one of the posts dividing the side windows. Glass, door seals and hinges are left exactly as they are. Because 304 grade fights corrosion through its own chemistry, not a plated skin, there's no layer to blister, and you clean it with the same soap you use on the paint.
3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape holds each piece, applied directly over the existing surface. Drills stay in the toolbox; no factory trim is unclipped. Temperature range and cure time appear on the Installation tab.
Spend most of your effort on surface condition. Run a hand along every post. Waxy slickness, a powdery bloom, fine crazing or a peeling corner will each cost you adhesion, so cure the problem before anything else. Follow with a soapy wash, a complete dry, and an isopropyl wipe on a lint-free rag.
Unwrap the covers on a towel and hold each beside its gallery image; a creased or missing piece means a phone call before you continue. The Tribeca photos show each cover's place. Keep every liner in place while you dry-fit each cover and box it in with painter's tape. View the SUV head-on and from behind to judge whether the covers sit evenly. Satisfied? Remove one liner, set the cover inside its outline, and press hard along its length and both margins. Repeat for the others.
Any cover that rides high should keep its liner on until you've spoken to 877-752-3811. A calm, dry, overcast afternoon is ideal. Hold off on washing or rain exposure until the cure time has run, and a step stool earns its place if the upper edges are hard to see from the ground.
One habit worth adopting before checkout: list the posts you'd like brightened, then tick them off against each of the three galleries. Whichever listing's photos match your list is the one to order. If two seem equally close, or none does, phoning first saves a return and a second wait for delivery.

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.
