Product Description
Acura MDX 2014-2020 Stainless Pillar Post Trim, Four Pieces (PP14297)
Four polished stainless covers for the window pillars of a 2014-2020 Acura MDX. PP14297 is 304 stainless at 26 gauge, made in the USA, and the catalog gives it a single fitment row, Acura MDX 2014-2020, tagged 4-door and SUV. The title reads the same way, so the only fitment homework is your model year.
QAA offers the MDX two pillar options, this four-piece set and the six-piece PP14298. The catalog records nothing else about how they differ: no notes, no named pillars, no triangle piece on either. That puts the photo galleries in charge of the decision. Study the outlines on both pages. Wherever a shape shows up in one gallery and not the other, ask yourself whether you want that post in stainless. Then buy the set that fits your answer, and just one of them; look at each set's photos side by side.
Installation is tape-only. The covers carry no hardware; 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape bonds them directly over the existing surface, so the MDX keeps all its original trim and you never pick up a drill. We can't quote a hold period, because this listing doesn't give one.
Polished 304 earns its place here because its shine isn't a layer sitting on top. Scuff it lightly and you see more stainless, not a different material. Being 26 gauge, the MDX covers are thin and lie close on the pillar.
A good bond starts with bare, clean paint. Give the pillars a proper hand wash with a pH-neutral car shampoo, rinse until the water sheets off cleanly, and dry with a fresh microfiber. A follow-up wipe of rubbing alcohol on a lint-free pad removes the last film; let it evaporate fully. Wax, sealant or ceramic coating where tape will sit needs to go.
Next comes the dry fit, and it's worth doing slowly. With every liner still attached, press a cover lightly against its pillar and check that both long edges run parallel to the post with no gap at either end. When it sits right, frame it with two small tabs of painter's tape and write its photo number on the liner. Repeat for all four. Only then start peeling: one liner, one cover, placed inside its tabs and rubbed down firmly from top to bottom and along each edge. Do the next cover straight after so you can compare them. Temperatures and cure time are spelled out on the Installation tab.
Shade, dry weather and a cool panel are what you want, plus a step stool for the tops of the pillars.
When the package arrives, lay out the four covers and compare them with the photos. Should one refuse to sit flush, leave its liner on and test it on another pillar of the MDX before deciding it's wrong; if it still won't settle, phone Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP14297 and your year. For regular cleaning, use plain car soap and a microfiber.

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.
