Product Description
Kia Forte 2019-2024 Pillar Post Trim, Four Pieces (PP19810)
PP19810 is a four-piece polished stainless pillar post set for the 2019-2024 Kia Forte 4-door sedan, priced at $67.99. Two more Forte pillar sets are linked on the sheet: PP19811 with six pieces and the note "Includes Rear Triangle piece", and PP19812 with eight pieces and no note. This four-piece set has no note, so it doesn't list a triangle.
The notes are worth spelling out. The rear triangle note appears on the six-piece set only. The eight-piece set, despite the higher count, doesn't mention a triangle. We can't tell from the listings whether it includes one, and we won't assume. If a rear triangle matters to you, compare the six and eight-piece galleries closely or call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811.
For this set, fitment is a single row: Kia Forte, 2019-2024, 4-door, Sedan, covering six model years. Check your records, and if the year doesn't match, call with PP19810 before ordering.
None of the Forte listings names the pillars covered or gives a width. So look at the four shapes in this gallery, compare them with the larger sets, and see which outlines appear only there. Hold the photos up beside your Forte and match each shape to a panel. Four covers is the simplest fit. PP19811's six-cover gallery is the one to compare with this Forte set; ring us if unsure.
The sheet also links WP19811, WP19812 and WS19810 by number. They're separate products with their own listings, and none is needed to fit this pillar set.
The covers are 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished and made in the USA. With no plating, the finish is the metal and can't flake. They attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface, so there's no drilling and nothing comes off the car. Read the Installation tab for the tape's temperature range and cure time before you begin.
Here's the fitting, in the order we'd do it.
On a dry, still day, park in the shade. Gather mild car soap, a sponge, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths and painter's tape.
Unpack the four covers onto a towel and compare each with the photos. A damaged or missing piece is a phone call before anything else.
Wash the pillar faces with soap and water, rinse and dry. Wipe each with isopropyl alcohol and give it a moment to evaporate. Remove wax or ceramic coating where the tape will touch, because the bond needs a bare face.
Look at each Forte cover beside the listing photos. Hold each against its pillar with the liner on, adjust until the edges sit naturally, and frame it with painter's tape. Peel the liner, lower the cover into its frame and press steadily from end to end and along both edges. Fit the next cover straight after, compare the two, then finish the last two.
A Forte cover that won't lie flat should keep its liner while you call 877-752-3811. After the cure time, car soap and a soft towel look after the Kia's four covers.

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.
