Product Description
Kia Rondo 2007-2009 Six-Piece Stainless Pillar Trim: PP27826
Six polished stainless covers for the pillar posts of a 2007-2009 Kia Rondo, tagged 4-door, Wagon: that's PP27826, priced at $84.49 and made in the USA from 26 gauge 304 stainless steel.
The record and title agree on a three-year range for one model. Rondos of 2007, 2008 and 2009 are on the row. If it isn't from 2007-2009, the listing makes no claim for it; call Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 and give the number PP27826 to ask. Before peeling a liner on the Rondo, read the prep notes under Installation.
The alternative is PP27825, a four-cover set for the same wagon that costs less. The listings don't name the pillars either set covers or give the widths, so the decision comes down to the photographs. Look at both galleries, then at your wagon, and ask whether you want all six of the shapes shown here. If the four-piece photos already look right to you, choose that; if not, this is the set. Don't order both.
Fitting the covers is purely a cosmetic job. They lie over the posts between the side windows as a polished finish, and the doors, glass and seals stay as they are. The 304 alloy resists corrosion on its own rather than through plating, so there's no layer to lift, and soap and water are all it needs.
On the 2007-2009 Rondo, all six covers are held by 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape on the existing pillar surface; no holes, no trim off. Check the Installation tab for temperatures and cure time.
Preparation takes longer with six posts, and each one counts, since a single poorly cleaned post can let one cover down while the other five look fine. In daylight, look at every post for wax, a chalky or faded finish, cracks or a lifting edge. Fix those first, because the tape relies on that surface. Wash with car soap, dry completely, and finish each post with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth.
When the covers arrive, count them and compare each with the gallery. If one is damaged or missing, call before fitting any. Lay the six out on a clean towel as the photos show. Place each with the backing still on and frame it with painter's tape, then step back to compare the covers on the Rondo. Fit a pair at a time, pressing each cover firmly along its full length and both edges.
A cover that won't lie flush should keep its backing while you phone 877-752-3811. A dry, mild day in the shade suits the Rondo job, and a second person helps keep the covers level. Keep the wagon dry until the cure time has passed, and after that simply wash the covers along with the rest of the paint.
Before you check out, stand beside the Rondo with this gallery open and give each of the six shapes a post. If one has nowhere obvious to go, ask first rather than after delivery. With a three-year range, it's a good moment to look at the year again.

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.
