Product Description
Hyundai Elantra Sedan 2011-2013 Stainless Pillar Posts, 4 Pieces (PP11340)
PP11340 is the smallest of four pillar post sets QAA lists for the 2011-2013 Hyundai Elantra 4-door sedan. It has four pieces of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, and the title and fitment row agree on the vehicle and years.
The same sheet shows three bigger pillar sets: PP11341 with six pieces, PP11342 with eight and PP11343 with ten. None of them has notes, and the catalog doesn't say which pillars any of them cover. The photos are the only way to compare. Lay the four listings side by side and pick the count that covers the pillars you want in stainless.
Where the window packages fit in
This Elantra also has four window trim packages, and their notes matter if you plan to do more than the pillars:
- WP11341 (10 pieces) includes 6 piece Upper Trim and 4 piece Window Sills, with NO Pillar Posts, and its note says it is not for use without a Pillar Post kit sold separately.
- WP11343 (6 pieces) is Upper Trim only, NO Pillar Posts and NO window sills, with the same "not for use without" warning.
- WP11340 (20 pieces) is the FULL package and already includes 10 piece Pillar Posts.
- WP11342 (14 pieces) also includes 10 piece Pillar Posts, with NO Window Sills.
So if you're eyeing WP11341 or WP11343, the catalog itself says you'll need a pillar post kit with it. Whether this four-piece set is the right partner for those packages isn't stated; call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 before you order the pair. Buying WP11340 or WP11342 already brings pillar posts, so ordering PP11340 as well could leave you with two sets of pillar covers.
Mounting and prep
The pieces mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and go on directly over the existing surface. You don't drill anything or take parts off the car. Elantra prep is described on the Installation tab. Remove wax or coatings from where the tape will sit.
Hold each piece against its pillar with the liner on and check it against the photos. Mark the ends with painter's tape, then peel, place and press firmly along the full length. A mild, dry day within the Installation tab's range gives the tape its best start, and the listed cure time comes before the first wash.
Quick reference
Vehicle: Hyundai Elantra, 2011-2013. Body: 4-door sedan. Pieces: four. No width or position notes are listed, which is normal for these pillar sets. Care is simple: soft cloth, mild soap, no abrasive pads.
Have the SKU PP11340 ready when you call 877-752-3811, and we can talk through which pillar set and which window package go together on your car.
Before you peel anything. Count the four pieces against the photos, check each matches a pillar on your Elantra, and check it's a 2011 to 2013. Five minutes here saves a stuck-on piece in the wrong place. Clean the pillar faces as that tab sets out, then let them dry.

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.
