Product Description
Hyundai Accent 2012-2017 Sedan, 4-Piece Polished Stainless Pillar Post Trim (PP12365)
PP12365 fits the Hyundai Accent 4-door sedan, model years 2012 through 2017. It's a set of four pillar post covers in polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. The listing's title, its single fitment row and its body tag all line up.
Only one other part appears on this sheet: PP12366, a six-piece pillar set for the same sedan. So the question is how many pillars you want covered, and the catalog leaves the answer to the photos, because neither listing has notes or names the pillars. Compare the four pieces shown here with the six in PP12366 and with your Accent. If these four match the pillars that matter to you, you'll have a quicker install with fewer parts to keep straight. If the larger set shows a pillar you'd miss, that one is the better choice. Order one, since the data doesn't say whether the sets overlap.
Check the basics: a Hyundai Accent, the 4-door sedan, and a model year between 2012 and 2017. If something doesn't match, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and give us PP12365. Need to check something on the Accent? Accent owners can reach us on 877-752-3811.
The set mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and goes on directly over the existing surface. Nothing is drilled and nothing is removed. Accent prep steps sit on the Installation tab.
To prepare, wash the pillars with soapy water, rinse, and dry them with a clean towel. Wipe each with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth and let it evaporate fully. Wax, sealants and ceramic coatings get in the way of a tape bond, so remove them from the contact area. If the finish is chipped or lifting, repair it before you cover it.
Then dry-fit. Hold each piece to its pillar with the liner on and compare it with the photos. Look along both long edges: they should follow the pillar's outline. If one doesn't, try it on a different pillar. Once it fits, put a short strip of painter's tape at each end on the car and write the location on the liner.
When all four are marked, peel the first liner, set the piece between its marks, and press firmly from one end to the other. Finish by running a fingertip down both edges. Repeat for the rest, then stand back and compare left with right. The Installation tab lists the temperature range for the tape and the cure time before the first wash, so pick a mild, dry day and leave the car unwashed until that time has passed.
Glare from glass and polished steel can hide small misalignments, so work in open shade or a bright garage. Have a bucket, sponge, towels, rubbing alcohol, painter's tape, a marker and the photos within reach.
Afterwards, wash with mild soap and a soft cloth. Steel wool and scouring pads will scratch the polish.
The Fitment and Specs tabs repeat the listing data.

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.
