Product Description
PP13166: Six Polished Stainless Pillar Covers for the Toyota Avalon Sedan, 2013-2018
Six pieces, 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished, made in the USA: PP13166 is the second of four Avalon pillar sets, listed for the Toyota Avalon 4-door sedan from 2013 through 2018.
Triangle pieces aren't mentioned here. The two larger Avalon sets have notes: PP13167 (eight pieces) "Includes Rear Triangle piece" and PP13168 (ten pieces) "Includes Front Triangle piece". This set's listing has no notes at all, just like the four-piece PP13165. The data doesn't say whether these six include a triangle piece, so if that matters to you, check the photos and call before ordering.
Choosing six. None of the Avalon sets names its pillars. The six-piece set makes sense if its photos show the pillars you want, without the triangle pieces the bigger sets mention. Compare all four sets' photos with your car. Buy one; the catalog doesn't say whether they overlap.
Rocker insert kit. The same sheet lists TH13165, a 4-piece rocker panel insert kit for this Avalon with a "Side Molding" note and a listed width of 1.187. It's a separate part from the pillars, with its own install. If you plan both, give each its own session and fresh prep.
Other Avalon parts. RD13165 (1-piece rear deck accent), GC13165 (1-piece gas door cover trim) and LP13165 (1-piece license plate bezel). RB13165, TR13165 and WQ13165 appear by number only.
Fit check. The Toyota Avalon 4-door sedan, 2013-2018, is what this set is listed for. Questions: Quality Automotive Trims, 877-752-3811, quoting PP13166.
Attachment. 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface. No drilling. No removal. Avalon prep steps are under Installation.
Prep. Gentle car soap, rinse, towel dry; then isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth, left to evaporate. Clear wax or coatings from where the tape will sit.
Dry-fit all six. Find each cover's place in the photos first. Hold each cover to its pillar with the liner on and look along both edges. Try another post if one won't follow. When it fits, painter's tape at each end and the spot noted on the liner.
Press. Peel, place, and press firmly end to end, then both edges. Fit the first covers and use them as the template for the rest. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and cure time.
If unsure. Keep the liner on, photograph the cover in place and call us.
Light. Use shade or a garage so glare doesn't hide small gaps.
Upkeep. Mild soap on a soft cloth handles it.
Look under Fitment and Specs for this listing's data.
Tools. Bucket, car soap, towels, isopropyl alcohol, a lint-free cloth, painter's tape, a pen, a step stool for the upper ends and the photos on a phone. Count first. Check the six covers against the photos when the box arrives, so you know everything is there. A second pair of eyes. A helper standing back a few steps can tell you whether each cover sits level before its liner comes off, which is much easier to judge from a distance.

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.
