Product Description
PP12214 Civic Sedan 2012-2015 Pillar Posts: Four Stainless Pieces With a Side Crease
PP12214 carries the one descriptive note among the Civic pillar sets: "With a crease on the side of the Pillar." It's a four-piece set of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel pillar post covers, made in the USA, for the Honda Civic 4-door sedan, model years 2012 through 2015. The title and row agree.
What the crease note tells you
The note describes the shape: the pieces follow a crease on the side of the pillar. The listing doesn't say more than that, and the six-piece PP12215 and eight-piece PP12216 sedan sets don't carry the note at all. We don't know from the data whether those sets have the same shape or not, so if the crease matters to you when choosing, look at the photos of all three and call if they don't settle it. For the sedan, then, the choice is four, six or eight pieces, and only this one states the crease.
There's also a two-piece set, PP12212, but it's tagged 2-door coupe. It isn't listed for the sedan.

Mounting
3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface. You don't drill and you don't remove anything.
Preparation and fitting
Wash the pillars, rinse and dry. Wipe with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth and let it flash off. Remove wax or coatings where the tape will go.
Because these pieces follow a crease, dry-fitting matters more than usual. Hold each piece in place with its liner on and check that its shape sits into the crease along its length. If it doesn't, try a different pillar. When it's right, mark the ends with painter's tape and write the location on the liner. Peel, set it between the marks, and press firmly along the length, working along the crease and then both edges. Look over the four Civic covers from a short distance once they're on. Follow the Installation tab's temperature range and cure time.
Checking your car
This set is for the Honda Civic 4-door sedan, 2012-2015. Coupe owners should look at PP12212 instead. Questions: Quality Automotive Trims, 877-752-3811, quoting PP12214.
Care
Clean the four pieces with mild soap and a soft cloth, not abrasive pads.
The data and the note both appear on the Fitment and Specs tabs.
Tools and light
Bucket and sponge, microfiber towels, rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth, painter's tape, a marker and the product photos on a phone. Judge the fit in open shade or a bright garage, because glare off glass and polished steel can hide a piece that isn't sitting fully into the crease. If one won't settle, don't peel it: take a photo of it held in place and call us first. A helper standing back a few steps can also tell you whether the covers match.

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.
