Product Description
Kia Sorento 2016-2020 Pillar Post Trim, 4 Pieces (PP16820)
For the 2016-2020 Kia Sorento 4-door SUV, PP16820 is the four-piece choice in QAA's pillar post trim. A six-piece set, PP16821, shares the same row. Both are polished 304 stainless, and the listing gives few details beyond the count, so here's how to make the call.
Start with the photos
Neither Sorento pillar listing has notes, a width or the names of the pillars it covers. Rather than guess, compare the two galleries: outlines that appear in the six-piece photos and not here, or the other way round, are the real difference. If the four covers in this gallery give the look you're after, this is the simpler job at $67.99. Order one Sorento set; if two appeal, look at their photos or call 877-752-3811 first.
Does it fit my Sorento?
The row reads Kia Sorento, 2016 to 2020, tagged 4-door and SUV. Five model years, one body. Check that yours is one of them. If it doesn't match, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP16820 before ordering.
Made from
Four covers in 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished and made in the USA. With no plating on top, the bright finish can't flake off; it's the steel.
How it attaches
3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface. No drilling, no clips, no trim removal. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and how long to leave the tape to cure.
Other pieces for the same Sorento
The sheet lists four single-piece parts for this SUV:
- LP16820, a license plate bezel.
- LB16820, a license bar described as an above-plate accent trim.
- RD16820, a rear deck accent. It is a rear deck accent for this SUV, so look at its photos or call before ordering it.
- GC16820, a gas door cover trim.
What pillar covers are
Pillars are the upright sections that frame the side windows and hold up the roof. A pillar cover is a thin stainless piece shaped to sit on the face of one. It bonds on top and leaves everything underneath as it was, which is why the job needs only cleaning supplies and painter's tape.
Prep work
Wash the pillar areas with car soap, rinse and dry fully. Wipe each spot with isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth and wait for it to evaporate. Wax, sealant or a ceramic layer must come off where tape will sit, or the bond won't take.
Fitting the four
Sort the Sorento covers against the listing pictures. With each liner on, hold the cover against its pillar, check that the edges follow it, and mark the position with painter's tape. Peel one liner, align the cover with your marks and press firmly along the full length and both edges. The second cover goes on straight away. A step stool makes it easier to see the upper ends square on.
If a piece won't seat or you're unsure where it goes, keep 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.
