Product Description
PP10811: Kia Forte 2010-2013 Sedan Six-Piece Stainless Pillar Post Trim
The six-piece pillar post set for the 2010-2013 Kia Forte 4-door sedan is PP10811. It's cut from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, and mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface. Its smaller companion, PP10810, has four pieces and the same fitment tags. Neither listing says in words which pillars it covers; the product photos do.
Is it tagged for my car? The row is Kia Forte, 2010 to 2013, 4-door, sedan, and the title agrees. The six-piece Forte set is listed for 2010 to 2013. For any doubt, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and mention PP10811.
Six versus four. Six pieces means more of the window frame in stainless than the four-piece set shows, with a little more sorting during the install. Compare both sets' photos against your car. Whether the two sets overlap isn't stated, so look at both sets of photos before ordering both.
Mounting. No drilling, since the tape goes directly over the existing surface. No notes or width are listed.
Rear-end parts on the same sheet. If you're dressing the back of the car too, the sheet shows two above-plate license bars at 1.8125 inches that differ by one note: LB10810 does not include key access, while LB10811 includes it. LP10810 is a 1-piece license plate bezel listed at 8.25, and RD10810 a 1-piece rear deck accent at 1.125 inches.
Lower-body parts. TH10810 is a 6-piece on-the-rocker trim at 2.5 inches, and TH10811 a 2-piece on-the-rocker trim at 1.25 inches. Both install below the door. WP10810, WP10811 and WQ10810 appear by number only, so check their listings for details, and ask us whether any of them overlaps with this pillar set before combining them.
Getting ready. Wash the pillars with soapy water, dry them, and wipe with rubbing alcohol until the cloth comes away clean. Let it evaporate. Remove any wax or sealant from the contact area and repair chipped finish.
Sorting six. Use the photos to lay out the pieces front to back. Hold each to its pillar with the liner on and label it once it fits. If one won't line up, try another pillar; similar pieces swap easily.
Install. One at a time: peel, align with the pillar's edges, press firmly from end to end, and run a fingertip along each edge. Check the side from a few steps back, repeat on the other, and compare. Use a dry day inside the Installation tab's temperature range and wait the listed cure time before washing.
Conditions. Glare from the glass and the polished stainless makes small misalignments hard to see, so work in open shade or a well-lit garage. Cold, damp or very hot days aren't ideal for foam tape. A few strips of painter's tape at the ends of each piece during the dry fit give you exact targets once the liners come off.
Care. Clean with mild soap and water on a soft cloth, never steel wool or abrasive pads.

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.
