Product Description
PP14441 Six-Piece Polished Stainless Pillar Posts, 2014-2018 Subaru Forester
PP14441 is the six-cover pillar post set for the Subaru Forester, 2014-2018. It's made in the USA from 26 gauge 304 stainless steel with a polished face, and it's listed on one row, Subaru Forester 2014-2018, tagged 4-door and Crossover SUV. That row and the title agree.
The middle of three. The Forester sheet lists PP14440 at four pieces, this set at six and PP14442 at eight. The listings share the same blank spots: no notes, no named pillars, no mention of a triangle or mirror piece. Because the catalog doesn't say where any set's covers go, the decision belongs to the galleries. Compare the shapes in all three, look for outlines unique to one set, and buy the single set that dresses the posts you want. Compare photos before ordering a second set.
Fitment in brief. 4-door Forester, Crossover SUV, model years 2014 through 2018. Anything outside that, ring 877-752-3811 and quote PP14441.
No drill, no removal. The covers attach with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape right over the existing surface, so the Forester's own trim stays put. No hold period appears on this listing, and we won't make one up.
About the steel. 304 stainless, polished, solid through its thickness. That means no flaking finish, and a light mark from handling shows only more stainless. The 26 gauge sheet sits close on the pillar.
What to have on hand. A bucket, plain car shampoo, two microfiber towels, isopropyl alcohol, a lint-free cloth, painter's tape, a marker for the liners and a step stool.
Preparing six pillars. Wash and rinse each pillar, dry it, then wipe it down with the alcohol and leave it to evaporate. Strip wax or ceramic coating from wherever the tape will land, since tape bonds to whatever's on top.
Test-fit, mark, then stick. Compare each Forester cover with the listing photos. Rest each one on its pillar with its liner attached and check that both long edges follow the post evenly. Mark the top and bottom with painter's tape and write the position on the liner. Work through them in order, holding each cover up to the photos to confirm where it goes. Now peel a single liner, lower the cover into its marks, and rub it down hard along its length and both edges. Move on to the next cover. Stand back and look at the pair before moving on. Temperature limits and cure time are on the Installation tab.
Conditions. Dry weather, shade or a garage, and a cool panel. A helper is useful for judging level. Hot sun on the panel or damp air works against the tape, so pick your moment; a cool, dry surface lets the alcohol flash off evenly and gives each cover a clean start.
When it lands. Compare six covers with the photos. If one won't sit flush, leave it on its liner and test another pillar, then call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 if it still won't settle. Routine care is car soap and a microfiber.

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.
