Product Description
Four-Piece Pillar Post Trim for the 2011-2015 Kia Sorento, Polished 304 Stainless (PP11820)
PP11820 covers the Kia Sorento, model years 2011 through 2015, with four pillar post pieces in polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. The fitment row tags the Sorento as a 4-door SUV, and the title carries the same years.
Three sizes for the Sorento
This is the smallest of three pillar sets QAA lists for this vehicle. PP11821 has six pieces and PP11822 has eight. None of the three listings carries notes, and none names the pillars it covers, so the product photos are where the difference shows. Compare all three with your own Sorento and pick the count that covers the pillars you want brightened. Because the catalog doesn't say whether the smaller sets are contained in the larger ones, plan on buying a single set.
Check the window package first
The sheet also shows WP11820, a 20-piece Window Trim Package described as including Upper Trim, Pillar Posts and Window Sills, the FULL Package. If that package is on your list, its contents already list pillar posts, which PP11820 also covers. Three more window packages, WP11821, WP11822 and WP11823, appear by number only, along with WQ11820 and WS11820. Their contents aren't on this sheet, so if you're considering one of those, call before deciding on a pillar set.
Other Sorento trim listed
For completeness, the same sheet shows AT11820, a 12-piece body side molding accent trim with an upper arrow note and a 1" width; TH11820, a 2-piece rocker panel trim that installs below the door, listed at 1.25 with a "use perimeter" note; TH11821, a 4-piece rocker insert kit that goes on the doors, with "use perimeter" and "Side Molding" notes, listed at 1.375; and GC11820, a 1-piece gas door cover trim.
Mounting
On the 2011-2015 Sorento, the four pillar pieces are held by 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface, with no drilling and nothing removed. For fit questions, call 877-752-3811.
Install notes
Wash the pillars with soapy water, rinse and dry. Wipe with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth and let it evaporate. Clear wax or coating from the tape area.
Dry-fit each piece with the liner on, checking it against the photos. When its edges follow the pillar, put painter's tape at both ends and write the location on the liner. Peel, set the piece between the marks, press firmly along the length and then down both edges. Compare sides from a few steps back. A step stool helps you see the upper ends squarely. The Installation tab lists the temperature range and cure 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.
