Product Description
PP28111 Six-Piece Stainless Pillar Trim, 2008-2013 Toyota Highlander
Six polished pillar covers for the Toyota Highlander from 2008-2013: PP28111 costs $84.49 and is made in the USA from 26 gauge 304 stainless steel. The fitment record tags the vehicle 4-door, SUV.
Before settling on six covers, look at what else the catalog offers for this Highlander, because it's easy to double up. PP28110 is the linked four-piece pillar set, which costs less. There are also two window trim packages. WP28110 is noted "Includes Upper Trim, Pillar Posts and Window Sills - FULL Package", and WP28111 "Includes Upper Trim and Pillar Posts, NO Window Sills". The listings don't compare the packages' pillar pieces with this set, and none of the pillar listings names its pillars or gives widths. So the photographs are the place to compare, and a call to Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 settles anything they don't. Quote PP28111.
Whichever route you pick, buy one product for the pillars, not several.
The years are simple: one model, six continuous years, title and record in agreement. Check the year on your paperwork or the label in the door frame, and phone if yours falls outside the range.
The covers themselves are decorative. They sit over the posts between the side windows and change nothing about the doors, glass or seals. The 304 alloy resists corrosion without plating, so the polish won't peel; wash it with the rest of the paint.
Attachment is 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface. You won't drill, and the original trim stays in place. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and cure time.
Six posts on an SUV take some preparation. Look at each in good light for wax, a dull or chalky finish, cracks or a lifting corner, and put them right, since the tape holds only as well as the surface beneath it. Wash with car soap, let everything dry completely, and wipe each post with rubbing alcohol on a clean, lint-free cloth. A step stool helps if the upper edges are hard to see from the ground.
Unpack the covers and lay them on a towel. Match each one to the gallery and call if anything is bent or short. A towel and the gallery on your phone make it easy to put the six Highlander covers in order. Before peeling any backing, place each cover and frame it in painter's tape, then walk round the Highlander to check the covers look even. Fit two at a time, pressing every cover firmly from end to end and along both edges.
If one won't lie flush, leave its backing on and ring 877-752-3811. A dry, mild day in the shade is best, and a helper makes keeping each cover level easier. Keep the vehicle dry until the cure time has passed.
A practical way to decide: write down the posts you want polished, then go through this gallery, the four-piece gallery and the two package galleries, ticking off which listing shows covers for each post. Whichever matches your list most closely is the one to buy, and if two look the same, phone before ordering.

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.
