Product Description
Mazda3 2014-2018 Pillar Post Trim, Four Pieces, Sedan and Hatchback Row (PP14750)
PP14750 is a four-piece pillar post set for the 2014-2018 Mazda Mazda3. Each cover is polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, and the set mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface. The title and the single fitment row agree on model and years.
One row, two body styles
The row reads Mazda Mazda3 2014-2018 and lists three tags together: 4-door, Sedan and Hatchback. That means the catalog puts both the sedan and the hatchback on the same line for this set, and the same is true of the six- and eight-piece Mazda3 sets on this sheet. What the data doesn't say is whether the four covers fit both bodies identically. We'd treat that as worth confirming: check the photos against your car, or call 877-752-3811 with PP14750 and your body style before ordering. We've flagged the combined tags for review.
Choosing among the Mazda3 sets
- PP14750: four pieces, no notes (this page)
- PP14751: six pieces, no notes
- PP14752: eight pieces, noted "Includes Rear Triangle piece"
Only the eight-piece set mentions a triangle piece, so don't expect one here. None of the listings names its pillars. Compare the three galleries and buy the one set whose shapes cover what you want; check the photos before you order.
Why polished 304
The shine is the steel itself, so there's no coating that can peel, and the 26 gauge sheet sits slim against the pillar.
Preparation
Wash the pillars with car shampoo, rinse, and dry with microfiber. Wipe with isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth and let it flash. Remove any wax or coating from where the tape will sit.
Fitting
Keep the liners on and rest each cover on its pillar, checking that both long edges track evenly along the post. When it's right, put a tab of painter's tape at the top and bottom and write the door on the liner. Do all four. Then peel one, set it in its marks and press it down firmly along its length and both edges before the next. Stand back to compare. The Installation tab lists temperature range and cure time.
Conditions
A dry, mild day out of direct sun, or a garage, and a step stool for the upper ends. A hot panel or damp air works against tape, while a cool surface lets the alcohol dry evenly. A helper standing a few paces back can tell you whether each cover sits level before its liner comes off, and four covers make this a short session.
Tools
Bucket, car shampoo, microfiber towels, rubbing alcohol, a lint-free cloth, painter's tape and a marker.
Before and after
Confirm Mazda3, 2014-2018, and your body style. On arrival, count four covers against the photos. If one doesn't line up, keep its liner on, try another pillar, and call Quality Automotive Trims if it still won't sit right. Clean afterward with car soap and a soft cloth.

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.
