Product Description
Honda Civic Hatchback 2016-2020 Pillar Post Trim, 4 Pieces (PP16214)
PP16214 puts four polished stainless covers on the pillars of a 2016-2020 Honda Civic. The fitment row is specific: 4-door, Hatchback. That's the only body style on this sheet, so read the tag before you read anything else.
Hatchback only
The title says 2016-2020 Honda Civic, but the row narrows it to the 4-door hatchback. No other Civic body style is listed for this set. If your Civic isn't a hatchback, this isn't the listing for it; call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with your year and body style and ask what is.
The smallest of three
Three Civic hatchback pillar sets share this row: PP16214 with 4 pieces, PP16215 with 6 and PP16216 with 8. None of them has notes, and none says which posts it covers, so the count is the only listed difference. Compare the three galleries side by side. Covers that appear in one set's photos and not another's are what you'd gain or give up. Choose one set and order only that; we can talk it through at 877-752-3811. Four pieces is the quickest of the three to fit and the least expensive at $56.99.
What pillar trim is
Pillar posts are the upright panels that frame the side windows and hold up the roof. PP16214 is four thin covers shaped to sit on top of the Civic's posts, giving a polished stainless line down the side. It doesn't replace or change the pillar underneath; it simply bonds to the face of it.
Build and finish
The covers are 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished and made in the USA. They attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface. No drill, no clips, nothing taken apart.
Other Civic hatchback pieces
The same sheet carries a handful of parts for this car:
- TH16214, a four-piece lower rocker panel kit, tapered from a point to 2.125", that spans from the bottom of the door up to that width.
- WS16214, a six-piece window sill trim set noted "Face of sills only."
- LP16214, a one-piece license plate bezel.
- RB16214, a one-piece rear bumper trim accent.
- RD16214, listed as a one-piece "Rear Deck Accent." The record gives no exact spot for it on this hatchback, so check its photos or call before ordering it.
Preparing the pillars
Wash with car shampoo, rinse and dry fully. Wipe each pillar area with isopropyl alcohol on a clean cloth and let it flash. Take off any wax or sealant where tape will sit.
Installing
Dry-fit each cover with its liner on, check that it follows the pillar edges, and mark the position with painter's tape. Peel one liner at a time, press the cover down and work firm pressure over its full length and both edges. The next Civic cover follows. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and cure time; let the tape cure before the first wash.
If a piece won't settle or you can't tell where it goes, stop with the liner on and call 877-752-3811.

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.
