Product Description
PP12236: Six Stainless Pillar Posts for the 2012-2016 Honda CR-V
PP12236 is the bigger of the two CR-V pillar post sets: six pieces of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, for the Honda CR-V from 2012 to 2016, tagged 4-door SUV. The four-piece set is PP12235.
Deciding on six
We'd like to say exactly what this set's two further pieces cover, but the catalog doesn't, and we won't guess. Neither listing has notes or names its pillars. Here's how to decide anyway. Pull up the photos of both sets. Count the shapes. Then walk around your CR-V and look at each pillar between and beside the side windows. If the six-piece photos include one you'd want covered that the four-piece set doesn't show, PP12236 is your set. If not, PP12235 is the shorter job. The data doesn't say whether the sets overlap, so buy one.
Vehicle check
Honda CR-V, 4-door SUV, model years 2012 through 2016. Your records both show the year. The title and the fitment row agree, so if your vehicle matches those, the listing matches. If not, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and give us PP12236.
Mounting
On the 2012-2016 CR-V, each of the six covers mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing pillar surface, with no holes and nothing removed.
Prep
Soap and water, rinse, towel dry. Isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth, then let it evaporate. Remove wax or coatings from the contact areas. Repair chips or flaking first.
Keeping six pieces straight
Spread the pieces on a clean towel, arranged as the photos show. Take one, hold it to its pillar with the liner on, and check that the edges follow the pillar. If they don't, try a different pillar. When it's right, mark the ends with painter's tape and write the position on the liner. Repeat for all six before you peel anything; that way, a mix-up shows up while it's still easy to fix.
Committing
Peel one liner, set the piece between its marks, and press firmly from end to end, then along both edges. A step stool helps you see the upper ends squarely. With three CR-V covers fitted, step back and judge the last three against them. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and how long to wait before washing.
Light
Open shade or a bright garage. Glare from glass and polished steel hides small misalignments.
Upkeep
Mild soap and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads.
The data is on the Fitment and Specs tabs.
Gather first
Bucket, sponge, a few microfiber towels, isopropyl alcohol with a lint-free cloth, painter's tape, a marker for writing on the liners, a step stool and the product photos open on a phone. If a friend is around, ask them to stand back and tell you whether each piece sits level before the liner comes off.
When a piece won't cooperate
Don't peel it. Check the photos and the other pillars again. If it still won't line up, take a photo of it held in place and call us.

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.
