Product Description
Mazda3 Hatchback 2010-2013 Pillar Post Trim, Six Polished Stainless Pieces (PP10752)
PP10752 is tagged for one body style only: the 2010-2013 Mazda Mazda3 4-door hatchback. Hatchback owners should know there's a near-twin on this sheet, PP10751, which also has six pieces and the same years but is tagged for the 4-door sedan only. They aren't interchangeable as far as the catalog is concerned, so be sure you order the one for your body. A four-piece set, PP10750, is the only pillar set here tagged for both bodies.
Hatchback checklist
- Mazda3, model year 2010 through 2013
- Four doors plus a rear hatch, not a separate trunk
- You want the six-piece coverage shown in the product photos
If all three are true, PP10752 is the listing tagged for your car. If any aren't, check PP10750 or PP10751, or call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP10752.
What you receive
Six pieces of 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished, made in the USA. They attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, installed directly over the existing surface, so there's no drilling and no trim removal. For PP10752, Mazda3 prep is on the Installation tab. No width or notes are listed, and the record doesn't name the pillars covered; the photos show them.
Choosing between four and six
As a hatchback owner you have two options here: this set or the four-piece PP10750. Their photos show what the two further pieces cover. The catalog doesn't tell us whether the two sets share pieces, so call before ordering both.
Prep and install
Wash the pillars, dry them, then wipe with rubbing alcohol and let it flash off. Remove wax or sealant where the tape will sit, and repair any flaking finish. Use the listing images to sort the six pieces into front-to-back order. Test each against its pillar with the liner on and label it. Then work one at a time: peel, line up with the pillar's edges, press firmly along the full length, and run a fingertip down each edge. Look over the first three, fit the others, and compare. A dry day within the Installation tab's temperature range is ideal, and the tab lists how long to wait before washing. All six Mazda3 covers are cut from polished stainless steel.
When a piece won't line up
Leave the liner on. Try the piece on another pillar and compare it with the photos again. If it still doesn't match, take a photo with it held in place and give us a call.
Light and weather
Reflections from glass and polished stainless can hide a slightly crooked edge. Work in open shade or a well-lit garage, and avoid cold, damp or very hot days. A little painter's tape at each end of a piece during the dry fit gives you a target to hit once the liner is off.
Care
Wash with mild soap and water and dry with a soft cloth. Steel wool and abrasive pads will scratch the polish, so leave them out.

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.
