Product Description
PP14811: Six-Piece Stainless Pillar Post Covers, Kia Forte Sedan 2014-2018
PP14811 is the larger of the two pillar post sets for the 2014-2018 Kia Forte sedan, with six covers in polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. The fitment row is tagged 4-door and Sedan, and it reads the same as the title.
The short version. Six pieces, no notes, tape-mounted directly over the existing surface, no drilling. Compare its photos with the four-piece PP14810 before choosing.
The longer version. What this set's two further covers are for isn't explained. It doesn't name the pillars for either set, and neither mentions a triangle or mirror piece. So rather than assume six means "four plus two specific posts," look at the gallery for each set. Lay the images side by side, count the distinct shapes, and compare them with the window line of your Forte. If this set shows shapes you want that the smaller one doesn't, it's the better buy. If not, the four-piece set is less work. Check both Forte galleries before you order the pair. The Forte's six covers are polished stainless.
Who it's for. A 4-door Forte sedan, 2014 through 2018. Different body or year? Call 877-752-3811 with PP14811 before ordering.
Tape and metal. The covers attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. You won't drill or remove any trim. Unsure about the six-piece Forte set? Call us on 877-752-3811 to talk it over. The metal is 304 stainless, polished; with no coating on top, there's nothing to flake, and the 26 gauge sheet lies close to the pillar.
Supplies. Gentle car soap and a bucket, two clean towels, isopropyl alcohol, a lint-free cloth, painter's tape, a marker and a step stool.
Cleaning. Wash and rinse the pillars, dry them, then wipe each with the alcohol and let it evaporate. Any wax or ceramic coating where the tape will land has to come off first.
Placement. Hold each Forte cover up to the photos. Try each one on its pillar with the liner attached, and adjust until the edges look even from end to end. Mark both ends with painter's tape and write the position on the liner. Map them in order, holding each cover up to the photos to make sure it's the right one. Then set them one at a time: peel, place, and press hard along the full length and both edges. Do the next one after it. Look at every two covers from a few steps away. See the Installation tab for temperature range and cure time.
Timing. A dry, mild day, out of direct sun. A hot panel or damp air works against the tape, and a cool surface lets the alcohol flash off evenly. A helper is handy for judging level, and the mapping step deserves unhurried time.
On arrival. Count six covers against the photos. A cover that won't sit flat should stay on its liner while you try another pillar; if it still won't settle, call Quality Automotive Trims. Ordinary car soap and a soft towel keep it 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.
