Product Description
Kia Cadenza 2014-2016 Pillar Post Trim, Four Stainless Pieces (PP14845)
PP14845 is a four-piece set of polished stainless pillar covers for the Kia Cadenza sedan, listed for a three-year span, 2014 through 2016. The row is tagged 4-door and Sedan and matches the title. The covers are 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, and they attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface.
A short year window. The row covers just 2014 through 2016, so check the Cadenza's year before ordering. A Cadenza from outside those three years isn't on this row, and we wouldn't assume its pillars match. Call 877-752-3811 with PP14845 if yours falls outside the range.
Four or six. The other Cadenza set is PP14846 with six pieces. Neither listing has a note, neither identifies its pillars, and neither mentions a triangle or mirror piece. So compare the two galleries: count the shapes and see which outlines appear only in the six-piece set. If four covers dress the posts you want, this is the shorter job. If you'd like the other shapes too, choose the six-piece set. If the six-piece Cadenza set also appeals, compare the photos or phone 877-752-3811 before ordering both.
Mounting. Tape only. There's no drilling and nothing to remove from the doors.
Why four is a reasonable start. Fewer covers means fewer liners to track, a shorter prep and a quicker install, and it lets you see how polished stainless looks on your Cadenza before deciding whether more trim is worth it. If the photos show it covers what you want, there's no reason to buy more.
Material. The finish is the polished 304 stainless itself, with no plating that could flake, and the 26 gauge sheet stays slim against each pillar.
Prep. Wash with a mild car shampoo, rinse and dry. Wipe each pillar with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth and wait for it to evaporate. Strip wax or ceramic coating from the spots where tape will sit, since tape grips the top layer.
Fit. Test each cover on its pillar with the liner still attached, nudging it until the edges look even along the post. Mark the ends with painter's tape and write the door on the liner. Once all four are mapped, peel one liner, set the cover in its marks and press firmly from end to end and along both edges. Do the next one and step back to compare. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and cure time.
Conditions. A dry, mild day out of direct sun, or a garage. A step stool helps with the upper ends, and a helper a few steps back can judge level before each liner comes off.
Tools. Bucket, car soap, towels, rubbing alcohol, a lint-free cloth, painter's tape and a marker.
Arrival. Count four covers against the photos. If one won't sit flat, keep it on its liner, try another pillar, and call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 if it still won't settle. Routine cleaning is car soap and a soft towel.

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.
