Product Description
PP13181: Six-Piece Stainless Pillar Covers for the 2013-2018 Toyota Rav4
PP13181 puts six polished stainless covers on the pillars of a 2013-2018 Toyota Rav4. The fitment row tags the Rav4 4-door SUV; the covers are 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. It's the second size of four on this sheet, after the four-piece PP13180 and before the eight-piece PP13182 and ten-piece PP13183.
Pairing with side trim. The sheet also lists AT13180, a 4-piece body side molding accent trim with a width of 1, for the same Rav4. It's a different part from the pillars and goes on separately; nothing in either listing ties a particular pillar set to it. If you're planning both, give each its own session with fresh cleaning, and do whichever you're most keen on first.
Choosing six. No Rav4 pillar listing names its pillars or carries a note. The photos show the pieces. If four pieces miss a pillar you'd notice, and the eight- and ten-piece sets include ones you don't need, six is a natural middle. Compare the photos with your Rav4 and buy one set; the data doesn't say whether they overlap.
Other Rav4 parts listed. DH13180 (4-piece door handle accent trim), DH13181 (8-piece door handle cover kit), GC13180 (1-piece gas door cover trim). RW13180, TH13180, TH13181, WP13180 and WP13181 by number only.
Fit check. It's listed for the Toyota Rav4 4-door SUV, 2013 through 2018. Questions: Quality Automotive Trims, 877-752-3811, quoting PP13181.
Attachment. Each RAV4 cover mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing pillar surface, with no holes and nothing removed.
Prep. Mild car soap, rinse, dry. Rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth, then let it flash off. Take wax and coatings off the tape areas and repair chips first.
Dry-fit six. Find where each sits in the photos. Offer each to its pillar with the backing on. When the edges follow the pillar, mark the ends with painter's tape and note the spot on the backing; if they don't, try another pillar. Dry-fit all six before peeling one.
Press. Peel, place between the marks and press firmly from end to end, then both edges. A step stool helps with the upper ends. Three Rav4 covers go first; line the next three up with those. Follow the Installation tab's temperature range and cure time.
If a cover won't sit. Keep the backing on, photograph it held in place and call us.
Light. Shade or garage light shows small gaps that glare would hide.
Tools. For the RAV4: bucket, soap, towels, rubbing alcohol, lint-free cloth, painter's tape, a marker and the photos.
Upkeep. Clean the six pieces with a soft cloth and mild soap.
You can read the data on the Fitment and Specs tabs.
Count first. When the box arrives, lay out the six covers and check them against the photos so you know everything is there. Order of work. Fit the first covers completely, then use them as your template for the rest; matching is easier than judging each cover on its own, and a helper a few steps back can confirm each one looks level.

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.
