Product Description
Toyota Avalon 2013-2018 Pillar Post Trim, Four Stainless Pieces (PP13165)
PP13165 is the four-piece pillar post set for the Toyota Avalon 4-door sedan, model years 2013 through 2018. It's polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, and the title and fitment row agree.
Where it sits among four Avalon sets
The Avalon has four pillar sets on this sheet, and two of them carry notes that the smaller ones don't:
- PP13165, four pieces: no notes (this set).
- PP13166, six pieces: no notes.
- PP13167, eight pieces: "Includes Rear Triangle piece".
- PP13168, ten pieces: "Includes Front Triangle piece".
So if a triangle piece is what you're after, the notes point to the eight- and ten-piece sets, not this one. This listing doesn't mention a triangle piece at all. We can't tell from the data which pillars the four pieces here cover, so compare the photos of all four sets with your car. If these four match the pillars you want, you have the shortest install of the range. Buy one set; the catalog doesn't say whether they overlap.
Other Avalon trim on the sheet
TH13165, a 4-piece rocker panel insert kit with a "Side Molding" note, listed at 1.187. RD13165, a 1-piece rear deck accent. GC13165, a 1-piece gas door cover trim. LP13165, a 1-piece license plate bezel. RB13165, TR13165 and WQ13165 appear by number only.
Fit check
Toyota Avalon, 4-door sedan, 2013-2018. The four-piece Avalon set covers 2013 to 2018. Call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP13165 if anything doesn't match.
Attachment
The Avalon's four covers fix with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the sedan's current posts, so nothing is drilled or taken off the Toyota.
Install
Wash the pillars with a gentle car soap, rinse and dry. Wipe with isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth and let it evaporate. Remove wax or coatings from the tape areas.
Hold each cover to its pillar with the liner on, compare with the photos, and look along both edges. If one won't follow its pillar, try another. Mark the ends with painter's tape and note the spot on the liner. Peel, place between the marks, and press firmly end to end and along both edges. View the four Avalon covers together from a short distance. The Installation tab lists the temperature range and cure time.
Light and tools
Work in shade or a garage. Have a bucket, soap, towels, isopropyl alcohol, a lint-free cloth, painter's tape, a pen and the photos ready.
Upkeep
Wash gently with mild soap and a soft cloth, without abrasive pads.

Starting small
A four-piece set is the quickest of the Avalon range to fit: fewer covers to sort, fewer liners to label, and fewer chances to put a piece in the wrong spot. If you're new to tape-on trim, that's a reasonable reason to start here, provided the photos show the pillars you care about. If you later decide you want more coverage, call us before ordering a second set, since we can't confirm from the catalog how the sets relate. And if a cover won't sit flush, keep its liner on, photograph it in place and call.

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.
