Product Description
Kia Sorento 2021-2026 Stainless Pillar Trim, 4-Piece Kit (PP71820)
Here is the short answer for Sorento owners: PP71820 is four pieces of mirror-polished stainless steel pillar trim, listed for the 4-door Kia Sorento SUV from 2021 through 2026. It is the smallest of QAA's three Sorento pillar kits. The rest of this page covers how it compares, how it goes on, and how to keep it looking right.
Four, six, or eight?
QAA catalogs the Sorento pillar trim as PP71820 (four pieces), PP71821 (six), and PP71822 (eight). Fitment is the same for all three. Since the data does not describe which posts each set covers, the deciding factor is how much stainless you want to see, and the photos are the best guide to that.
Four is the subtle choice. It puts a bright edge on part of the window line and leaves the rest of the Sorento's look as it is.
Model years on the listing
2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, all for the 4-door Sorento SUV. If your vehicle's year is outside that range, it is not part of this record. The Fitment tab shows the details.
Three reasons it is stainless
First, the shine is in the metal, not in a coating, so there is nothing to flake. Second, all four pieces are cut from the same 26-gauge 304 stainless steel and polished the same way, so they match. Third, QAA makes them in the USA.
What it attaches with
For the Sorento, all four covers attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and press onto the existing pillars, so no trim comes off. According to QAA, the tape stays put for a lifetime without damaging the Kia.
How to install it
Wait for a dry, mild day. Wash and dry each pillar, then wipe off wax so the tape meets a clean surface. Hold each cover in place to check its position before peeling the liner, then press firmly from one end to the other. Fit one Sorento cover, step back, and match the next to it. Give the tape a few days before the first wash. The Installation tab has the full version.
Pillars, defined
Pillars are the upright posts that frame the side windows and support the roof. Covering them in polished steel gives the glass a bright outline. The covers are cosmetic and leave the factory surface beneath unchanged.
Care afterward
Rinse off loose grit, wash with mild soap, and dry with a soft towel. Avoid abrasive pads and polishes on the mirror finish, and dry the steel after washing so water spots do not form.
Getting it straight
Set the first cover slowly and treat it as the reference for the rest. With four pieces, each one is noticed on its own.
If you want more coverage
This four-piece Sorento kit stands on its own. If four could feel modest once it is on, compare the six and eight-piece kits now so you only order once.

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.
