Product Description
PP14831 Six-Piece Pillar Post Covers for the 2014-2019 Kia Soul
Six polished stainless covers for the pillars of the Kia Soul, model years 2014-2019. PP14831 is cut from 26 gauge 304 stainless steel in the USA, and its row (Kia Soul 2014-2019, 4-door, Hatchback) matches the title.
Picking six over four or eight
QAA lists the Soul with three pillar sets: four pieces (PP14830), six pieces (this one) and eight pieces (PP14832). All three listings are note-free. None names the pillars it covers, and none mentions a triangle or mirror piece. With nothing but counts to compare, the galleries are where you'll see the difference. Look for shapes that appear in one set's photos but not another's, think about which of your Soul's pillars you want in stainless, and order the single set that matches. Compare photos before buying two.
Mounting without hardware
3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape bonds each cover directly over the existing surface. Nothing is drilled, and no trim comes off.
Why polished 304
It's stainless all the way through, so there's no plating to flake and nothing different underneath if it picks up a light scuff. At 26 gauge the covers are slim on the pillar but keep their shape.
Cleaning before you start
Wash the pillars with plain car soap. Rinse well and dry with microfiber. Wipe each one with isopropyl alcohol on a fresh lint-free cloth, and give it a moment to flash off. Wax and ceramic coatings stop tape from reaching the paint, so remove them where the covers will sit.
Six covers, one post at a time
Use the product images to place each Soul cover. Pick a starting post and test-fit each cover with its liner still on, nudging it until the edges look even along its post. Put a small tab of painter's tape at each end and write its location on the liner. Map all six, holding similar covers together to make sure the shapes go where they should. Then peel one liner at a time, set the cover inside its tabs, and press firmly along its full length and both edges. Then move to the next cover. Check every second cover from a few paces back. For temperature range and cure time, see the Installation tab. Stainless steel makes up the six covers.
Setting up
Choose a dry day and a shaded spot or a garage. A hot panel or damp air works against tape, while a cool surface lets the alcohol dry evenly. A step stool helps at the top ends, and a helper can judge level. Gather a bucket, car soap, microfiber towels, the alcohol and cloth, painter's tape and a marker before you begin.
Fit check and arrival
The six-piece set is for 2014-2019 Souls. If your year is outside that range, call 877-752-3811 with PP14831 before ordering. On arrival, compare six covers with the photos. A cover that won't sit flat should stay on its liner while you try another pillar; if that doesn't work, call Quality Automotive Trims. Car soap and a soft towel keep it clean.

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.
