Product Description
Kia Cadenza 2017-2020 Sedan Pillar Post Covers, Set of Four (PP17845)
Polished stainless on the pillars of a Kia Cadenza: PP17845 does that with four covers, sized for the 4-door sedan and listed for 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020. It shares its fitment row with a six-piece twin, PP17846, and nothing else is listed for the Cadenza on this sheet.
Start with the year. The row covers four model years and one body style, tagged 4-door and Sedan. A Cadenza from outside that window isn't on this listing, and neither is any other body. If you aren't sure what you have, your records will tell you. Anything that doesn't line up is worth a call to Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 before you order, quoting PP17845.
Next, the set size. Both Cadenza listings stop at the count. Neither has notes, neither gives a width, and neither names the pillars it covers. Comparing pictures is the way through: open both galleries, and any outline that shows up in the six-piece photos but not here, or the reverse, tells you what separates them. With four covers, this is the faster job, and it's listed at $84.49. Torn between Cadenza sets? Their galleries, or 877-752-3811, will help.
The covers themselves are 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished to a bright finish and made in the USA. Nothing is plated on top, so there is no surface skin to crack or lift as the car ages. Thin stock lets each cover settle close against the panel it's bonded to.
Attachment is by 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface. Nothing gets drilled, and no panels or seals need to come off. The tape's working temperature range and cure time are on the Installation tab, and both are worth reading before you pick a day.
Doing the job
Prep matters more than anything else. Wash the areas around the side windows where the covers will go using a gentle soap, rinse, and dry fully. Then wipe the same spots with isopropyl alcohol on a clean, lint-free cloth, and let it evaporate. A waxed or ceramic-coated finish won't hold tape well, so remove that layer where needed.
Lay out the four covers and match them to the photos. Before peeling anything, hold each to the car and see that it follows the pillar's outline, then fix its position with a couple of strips of painter's tape. With all four marked, take one, peel the liner, set it on your marks and press with steady thumb pressure along its full length and both edges. Do the next cover after it, checking that the two match as you go.
Finish by stepping back and checking the lines from a few paces away. Once the cure time has passed, ordinary car soap and a soft mitt are all the care the stainless needs, followed by a dry with a clean towel.
If a cover arrives bent, or won't sit flat during the dry-fit, keep its liner on and ring 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.
