Product Description
PP10831: Six-Piece Stainless Pillar Post Trim, Kia Soul 2010-2013
What's in the set? Six pieces of pillar post trim in polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, for the 2010-2013 Kia Soul 4-door hatchback. They mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface.
How does it compare with the other Soul pillar sets? The sheet lists four counts with the same tags: PP10830 (4 pieces), PP10831 (6), PP10832 (8) and PP10833 (10). The record doesn't name the pillars in any of them. The product photos show the coverage, and lining them up one after another is the quickest way to choose. The catalog doesn't say whether the sets overlap, so pick one rather than combining them.
What about the window package? WP10831 is a 16-piece Window Trim Package whose note says it "Includes Upper Trim and Pillar Posts, NO Window Sills." Pillar posts are part of that package. If you're leaning toward it, you may not need a separate pillar set at all. Because the catalog doesn't confirm whether its pillar pieces match these six, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP10831 and WP10831 before buying both.
Is it tagged for my Soul? The row reads Kia Soul, 2010-2013, 4-door, hatchback, and the title agrees. Check that the Soul falls within 2010 to 2013.
Will I drill anything? No. The tape installs directly over the existing surface. For the Soul, phone 877-752-3811 and give PP10831. No width or notes are listed.
How should I prepare? Wash with soapy water, dry, and wipe each pillar with rubbing alcohol on a clean cloth. Let it flash off. Remove wax or sealant from where the tape will sit, and repair any peeling or chipped finish. A car from these years can carry old wax layers near the glass, so take your time.
How do I install six pieces cleanly? Lay the Soul pieces out front to back, following the photos. Hold each to its pillar with the liner on, label it, and mark its ends with painter's tape. Then fit each Soul cover in turn: peel, align to the marks, press firmly from end to end, and seat the edges with a fingertip. Check the first three, do the rest, and compare. Install on a dry day within the Installation tab's temperature range, out of harsh sun if you can, and allow the listed cure time before washing.
What else is on the sheet? GC10830, a 1-piece gas door cover trim; PB10830, a 2-piece porthole accent noted "Center Strip"; and MI10830, a 4-piece body molding insert kit noted as tapered, whose width figures are garbled in the record. Seven more parts are listed by number only.
What if a piece doesn't fit? Leave its liner on. Try it on another pillar, compare with the photos again, and if it still doesn't line up, call us with a photo of it held in place.
How do I care for it? Mild soap and water with a soft cloth. No 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.
