Product Description
PP14846: Six Stainless Pillar Covers for the 2014-2016 Kia Cadenza Sedan
For the 2014-2016 Kia Cadenza sedan, PP14846 is the six-piece pillar post set. The covers are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. Its one fitment row, Kia Cadenza 2014-2016 tagged 4-door and Sedan, agrees with the title, and the set mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape laid straight over the existing surface.
Three model years, one row
The row spans three model years, 2014 through 2016. That's a narrow window, so check the Cadenza's year before buying. If your Cadenza is outside it, or you're not sure, call 877-752-3811 and quote PP14846.
Six versus four
PP14845, the four-piece set, is the only other Cadenza pillar listing. The catalog doesn't record anything about either beyond the count: no notes, no named pillars, no triangle or mirror piece. That leaves the photos to show what the two further covers are. Compare the galleries and decide whether those shapes are ones you want. If they are, this is your set. If not, the four-piece set is less to install. Pick one; look at each set's photos side by side.
Tape, metal, no drill
Every cover is held by the tape alone, so you won't drill or take off any trim. The metal is 304 stainless with a polished face; nothing is plated, so there's no coating to lift, and the 26 gauge sheet keeps each cover thin on its pillar.
What to have ready
Mild car soap, a bucket, a few microfiber towels, isopropyl alcohol, a lint-free cloth, painter's tape, a marker for the liners and a step stool for the upper ends.
Clean first
Wash and rinse the pillars, then dry them. Wipe each one with the alcohol and let it flash off. If there's wax or ceramic coating where the tape will sit, take it off.
Map, then mount
Sort the six Cadenza covers by the listing images. Working one post at a time, test-fit each with its liner attached, adjusting until the edges sit evenly on the post. Tab both ends with painter's tape and write the position on the liner. Map the rest the same way, holding similar covers together to be sure each goes in the right spot. Then peel and set the covers one at a time, pressing firmly from end to end and along both edges. Check the Cadenza's line after each couple of covers. The Installation tab covers temperature range and cure time.
When to work
A dry day, out of direct sun or in a garage. A helper to judge level is a bonus. A hot panel or damp air works against tape, so pick a cool, dry moment; it also lets the alcohol flash evenly before each cover goes down.
On arrival
Count six covers against the photos. If one won't sit flat, keep the liner on, try it on another pillar, then call Quality Automotive Trims if it still won't settle. Car soap and a soft towel keep the polish bright.

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.
