Product Description
Mazda CX-9 Four-Piece Pillar Post Trim, 2016-2023 (PP17725)
PP17725 is the four-piece stainless pillar set for the Mazda CX-9 4-door SUV. The title and the fitment row both cover 2016 through 2023, though the row writes it in a short form explained in the next section.
How the years are written
The product title reads 2016-2023 Mazda CX-9. QAA's fitment row gives the same span in shorthand, "Mazda CX-9 2016-23," tagged 4-door and SUV, and the Fitment tab spells it out as 2016-2023. The six- and eight-piece CX-9 sets carry the same row. Check that your SUV's model year falls between 2016 and 2023, and if anything about your CX-9 doesn't match, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP17725 before you buy.
Three CX-9 pillar sets
This set has four covers. PP17726 has six, and PP17727 has eight and is noted "Includes Front Triangle piece." This listing and the six-piece one don't mention a triangle. None of the three names its pillars. Compare the galleries, look for outlines that appear in one and not the others, and order one set only. Fit one CX-9 set only, and check with us on 877-752-3811 before ordering another. At $73.49, the four-piece is the smallest job and spend of the three.
Material and mounting
Four covers in 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished, made in the USA. The finish is polished steel, so there's no plating to chip. They mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface. No drilling, nothing removed.
Other CX-9 parts on the sheet
- TH17725: a six-piece rocker panel trim, with notes describing a 2 1/8" - 2 5/8" tapered width side molding and an insert kit. Its own page shows where those pieces run.
- RD17725: a one-piece rear deck accent noted at 5/8" width. It is a rear deck accent for the back of this SUV.
- HT17725: a one-piece hood accent trim.
- LP17725: a one-piece license plate bezel.
What the covers do
Pillars are the upright panels around the side glass. Each stainless cover in this set is shaped to lie over the face of one, giving it a bright finish without altering the panel. Because nothing is cut or replaced, the job comes down to a clean surface, careful placement and firm pressure, all of which you can manage in a driveway with simple supplies.
Prep
Wash the pillar areas with car shampoo, rinse and dry fully. Wipe each with isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth and let it evaporate. Remove any wax or ceramic coating where tape will sit. A dry, shaded day is best.
Fitting
Count four covers on arrival and match them to the photos. Use the photos to place each one. Hold each to its pillar with the liner on, check both edges, and mark its position with painter's tape. Peel one liner, align, and press firmly along the full length and both edges. Fit the following CX-9 cover. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and cure time.
If a cover won't sit flat, or you're unsure about the year question above, 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.
