Product Description
2003-2008 Honda Pilot Pillar Post Covers in Stainless, Six Pieces (PP25261)
The set: six polished stainless pillar covers. The vehicle: the 2003-2008 Honda Pilot 4-door SUV. The price: $84.49. Made in: the USA. Linked alternative: PP25260, four covers.
Year first. Later Pilot pillar sets exist in the catalog but aren't linked to PP25261. This one covers six model years, 2003-2008. Check your records, and if your Pilot isn't in that range, look for the set listed for your year. For help, ring Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 and quote PP25261.
Then the count. Neither of the linked Pilot pillar listings names its pillars or offers a width or note. That leaves the photos. Bring up both galleries, compare them, and picture the shapes on your SUV. If you'd like all six of these areas in bright steel, this is the set. If the four-piece photos are closer to what you want, choose that one instead; it's a shorter job. Look at the four-piece Pilot gallery next to this one before choosing.
What pillar covers do. They're cosmetic panels that sit over the posts between the side windows. They don't change anything structural, and the Pilot's original trim stays in place beneath them. Think of them as a finish, not a part replacement.
The metal. 26 gauge 304 stainless, polished, not plated. It resists corrosion, there's no coating to peel, and soapy water keeps it bright.
The adhesive. 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape bonds each cover directly over the existing surface. No drilling. Nothing removed. Read the Installation tab for the temperature range and cure time.
The posts. Tape can only hold to a sound finish. Inspect each post for chalky residue, fine cracking, a lifting corner or old wax, and put any of that right first. Then wash, dry and wipe with rubbing alcohol until a fresh lint-free cloth comes away clean.
The kit. Mild car soap, a bucket, rubbing alcohol, a stack of clean lint-free cloths, painter's tape, a pencil, a step stool if the upper edges are hard to see from the ground, and a helper if possible.
The method. Choose a dry, still day in the shade. Check all six covers against the photos and call if any are bent or missing. Use the photos to place the six Pilot covers in sequence on a towel. Offer each up with its backing on and trace around it with painter's tape, pencilling its position on the backing. When all six are marked, fit one at a time: peel, set into the outline, and press hard along the length and both edges. Every second cover, step away and check the Pilot. Stainless steel makes up all six.
The fallback. If a cover won't sit flat, keep the backing on and phone 877-752-3811.
The aftercare. Once cured, wash with car soap and dry with a soft towel.
The time. Plan an unhurried session; marking the six positions takes longest and pressing goes fast.
The last check. Before ordering, hold the gallery up beside the Pilot and confirm each shape has an obvious home.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 6 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.
