Product Description
Six Polished Pillar Covers for the Kia Sportage, 2005-2010 (PP28836)
PP28836 is six pillar covers in polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA, for the Kia Sportage from 2005-2010. The record's tag is 4-door, SUV, and the price is $84.49.
Fitment reads cleanly: one model, six years, with the title and record in step. Six covers for a Sportage built 2005 to 2010; check your year on the registration first. A Sportage from before 2005 or after 2010 isn't claimed by this listing, so call Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811, mentioning PP28836, if that's yours.
Before choosing six covers, weigh up the neighbours. PP28835 is the four-cover set and costs less. WP28835 is a window trim package whose note says "Includes Upper Trim and Pillar Posts, NO Window Sills". Whether the package's pillar pieces match these covers isn't stated anywhere in the listings. If you're tempted by the package as well, compare the galleries carefully or phone first. In short, pick one route for the pillars.
None of the listings names the pillars or gives a width. The photographs will have to do the explaining, so study them with your Sportage in front of you.
Fitted, the covers are bright skins over the posts between the side windows. They don't affect how the doors work, how the glass moves, or how the seals sit. The record gives the 304 alloy as the material, and a wash is all it needs.
Each cover holds with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, applied directly over the existing surface. Nothing is drilled and no trim is removed. The Installation tab gives temperature range and cure time.
Prepare all six posts before peeling a single liner. A waxy feel, a powdery haze, small cracks and lifting corners each undermine adhesion; fix them. Wash with car shampoo, rinse, dry fully, then wipe every post with isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free pad.
Unpack the covers onto a towel and check each against the gallery. Call if anything is damaged or short. The pictures show the order for the six Sportage covers. Dry-fit and tape-outline all six with the liners on, then walk round the SUV and compare them. Only then peel and press, two at a time, working each cover firmly from end to end and along both edges.
A cover that won't settle keeps its liner while you call 877-752-3811. Pick a dry, mild day in shade. Bring a helper if you can, and a step stool if the upper edges are hard to see from the ground. Keep water away until the cure time is over; after that, wash the covers along with the paint using ordinary car shampoo and a soft mitt, and dry them with a clean towel.
Last of all, before paying, stand beside the Sportage with this gallery open and give each of the six shapes a post. Any shape without an obvious home is a reason to ring first, with the model year in hand so the year question is settled too.

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.
