PP14751: Six-Piece Stainless Pillar Covers for the 2014-2018 Mazda3
PP14751 is the six-cover pillar post set for the Mazda Mazda3, 2014-2018. It's polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, and it mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface, with no drilling and nothing removed.
The body-style question. The one fitment row reads Mazda Mazda3 2014-2018 and carries 4-door, Sedan and Hatchback as tags on the same line. The catalog doesn't split the set by body, and it doesn't say whether all six covers fit a sedan and a hatchback the same way. We've flagged that combined tag for review. Until it's cleared up, compare the photos with your car, and if anything looks different, call 877-752-3811 with PP14751 and tell us which body you have.
Six among three. The Mazda3 sheet lists PP14750 (four pieces, no notes), PP14751 (six pieces, no notes) and PP14752 (eight pieces, noted "Includes Rear Triangle piece"). This set's listing says nothing about a triangle piece, so we won't promise one. Since none of the listings says which pillars it covers, let the galleries decide: look for shapes that appear in one set and not another, then order the single set that matches what you want. Choose a single Mazda3 set.
Material. Polished 304 stainless has no plating or film on top, so there's no coating to flake, and a 26 gauge sheet sits slim on the pillar.
Gather first. A bucket and car shampoo, a couple of 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 properly. Hand-wash the pillars, rinse thoroughly and dry. Wipe each one with the alcohol and let it evaporate on its own. Wax or ceramic coating where tape will land should come off, because tape holds to the top layer.
Map the six. Line the Mazda3 covers up with what the photos show. With liners on, rest each cover against its pillar and check that both long edges track the post evenly. Tab the top and bottom with painter's tape and write the position on the liner. Map them all in order, comparing each cover with the photos.
Press them on. Peel one liner, lower the cover into its marks, and rub it down firmly from top to bottom and along each edge. Then fit another. Stand back every couple of Mazda3 covers. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and cure time.
Conditions. Dry weather and shade or a garage. A cool panel and a helper for judging level both help. Hot sun or damp air works against the tape, so pick your moment and allow time for the mapping step.
Check and care. Confirm Mazda3, 2014-2018, and your body style before ordering. On arrival, compare six covers with the photos. If one won't sit flush, keep it on its liner and try another pillar, then call Quality Automotive Trims if needed. Routine cleaning is car soap and microfiber. PP14751's details are repeated on the Specs tab.

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.
