Product Description
PP16282: Six Polished Pillar Covers, Honda Accord Sedan 2016-2017
PP16282 is the larger of two pillar post sets QAA lists for the 2016-2017 Honda Accord 4-door sedan. It brings six covers to the job where the PP16281 set brings four. Both share the same fitment row and neither carries a note, so this page focuses on how to choose and how to fit.
Is my Accord covered? Only if it's a 2016 or 2017 model and a 4-door sedan. The sheet lists nothing else. The Accord row covers only 2016 and 2017. If yours is a different year or body, ring Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and give them PP16282 before you order.
Why six? Six is two more than the PP16281 set has, but the catalog doesn't say which posts these six dress, and we won't pretend it does. The way to tell is the gallery. Put the six-piece photos beside the four-piece ones and look for the outlines that only appear here. If those are shapes you want on your car, this is your set. Choose one Accord listing, comparing the galleries before considering another.
What are they made of? Polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. The shine is the polished steel, not a plated layer, so there's no coating to wear off.
How do they attach? With 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface. No drilling, no panels removed. The Installation tab gives the temperature window and the cure time.
A note about the Sport model. On this sheet, the two-piece rocker panel trim TH16282 (listed width 1.25, installs below the door) says "Does not fit Sport Model." That restriction belongs to the rocker part. This pillar listing has no such note. Even so, if you own a Sport and want peace of mind, call before ordering.
What else fits this Accord? The same sheet carries a four-piece body side molding accent (AT16281, width 1), a four-piece lower rocker kit for the doors only (TH16281, width 1, spanning from the door bottom up), a gas door cover trim (GC16281), a license plate bezel (LP16281) and a rear bumper trim accent (RB16281). RD16281 and WQ16281 are listed by number only.
How do I prep? Soap and water, rinse, dry. Then a pass with rubbing alcohol on a clean microfibre over each pillar area, left to flash off. Take wax or sealant off wherever tape will land.
What order should I work in? Lay the six on a towel and match them to the photos. Keep the backings on and test each cover against the car, sighting along both edges, then mark its place with painter's tape and pencil the spot on the backing. When every cover has a home, peel and press one at a time with firm, even pressure end to end.
And if one won't line up? Leave its backing on and call 877-752-3811. Sorting out a question before the tape touches the car is far easier than lifting a cover afterwards, so don't hesitate to ask.

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.
