Product Description
PP13346: Six-Piece Stainless Pillar Trim for the 2013-2017 Hyundai Elantra GT Hatchback
Six polished stainless covers for the pillars of the Elantra GT. PP13346's row lists the Hyundai Elantra, 2013 through 2017, 4-door, GT Hatchback. The covers are 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. It's the middle of three GT pillar sets: PP13345 has four pieces and PP13347 has eight.
Rocker options on the same sheet
If the lower body is on your list too, the GT has two rocker parts with different descriptions. TH13345 is a 4-piece lower kit that goes on the doors only, spanning from the bottom of the door up to the listed 1.5. TH13346 is a 2-piece trim with a bend contour that installs below the door, also listed at 1.5. Those are separate jobs from the pillars and go on in their own session; nothing in their listings ties them to a particular pillar set.
Choosing six
The eight-piece PP13347 notes a Rear Triangle piece. This listing has no notes, so it doesn't say whether a triangle piece is included; neither does the four-piece set. None of the three names its pillars. Compare the photos: if six covers the pillars you want and you don't need the triangle piece the eight-piece set mentions, this is a sensible middle. Buy one set; the data doesn't say whether they overlap.
The window package question
WP13345, an 18-piece Window Trim Package, says it includes 10 piece Upper Trim and 8 piece Pillar Posts, NO Window Sills. Pick one listing, and look at the galleries before ordering a second. WP13346 and WQ13345 appear by number only.
Also listed
GC13345 (1-piece gas door cover trim) and RD13345 (1-piece rear deck accent, 2" width by 43" length, listed for this hatchback body style).
Fit and mounting
The row lists the Elantra GT Hatchback, 4-door, 2013-2017. They mount on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface, with no drilling and nothing removed.
Install
Wash with mild soap, rinse, dry, then degrease with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth. Remove wax or coatings from the tape areas. Match the six covers to the photos, hold each to its pillar with the backing on, and mark the ends with painter's tape once the edges follow the pillar. Peel, place, press firmly end to end and along both edges. Fit three, then match the rest. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and cure time.
Help
If a cover won't sit flush, keep the backing on, photograph it and call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811, quoting PP13346. Work in shade, and use mild soap and a soft cloth for upkeep.
Before you start
Count the six covers against the photos when the box arrives. Pick a dry, mild day. Have a bucket, soap, towels, rubbing alcohol, a lint-free cloth, painter's tape, a marker, a step stool and the photos ready, and if someone can stand back and judge each cover before its backing comes off, so much the better.

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.
