Product Description
PP16261: Six-Piece Stainless Pillar Post Covers, 2016-2022 Honda Pilot
PP16261 gives the 2016-2022 Honda Pilot six polished pillar covers. It's the plainest of the four Pilot listings: no notes at all, just six pieces of 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, for the 4-door SUV.
The Pilot family at a glance
Two of the four Pilot pillar sets carry notes and two don't. The four-piece PP16260 says it "Includes top crease." The ten-piece PP16263 says it "Includes Front Pillar behind the mirror." This set and the eight-piece PP16262 say nothing beyond the count. That means neither note can be assumed to apply here. If either feature is important to you, the set that names it is the safer pick, and a call to 877-752-3811 can confirm the rest.
Choosing by photo
Since the catalog doesn't name which posts any of the four sets dress, the galleries do the work. Open this set's photos and compare them with the four- and eight-piece listings. The shapes you see here and not in a neighbour are what this count brings. Pick the one set that matches the look you want and order it alone. If a larger Pilot set also appeals, check the photos or call us before ordering both.
Fit check
The row is short and simple: Honda Pilot 2016-2022, 4-door, SUV. Check the year, and if your Pilot doesn't match, phone Quality Automotive Trims with PP16261 before ordering.
The metal
Solid 304 stainless, polished to a bright face, in a 26 gauge sheet. There's no plating involved, so the finish isn't a layer that can lift; it is the steel. The covers are made in the USA.
How it goes on
Each cover bonds with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface. There's no drilling and nothing to unbolt. The Installation tab has the temperature range and the cure time to allow before the first wash.
Before fitting, give the pillar areas a soap-and-water wash and let them dry completely. Follow with a rubbing alcohol wipe on a lint-free towel, and wait for it to flash off. Any wax, polish or ceramic coat on those spots should come off first.
Lay the six covers on a towel and match them to the photos. Hold each one up with its backing on, look along both edges against the pillar, and mark its place with painter's tape. Once all six have a spot, peel one backing, set the cover on your marks and press firmly from end to end. Then do the next cover and compare.
Other parts for the same Pilot
Listed alongside: a four-piece lower rocker panel kit (TH16260) at 1.25, spanning from the bottom of the door upward; a one-piece gas door cover trim (GC16260); a license plate bezel with rear backup camera access (LP16260); and a one-piece rear deck accent at 0.75 (RD16260), so view its photos first. WQ16260, LB16260 and TP16260 appear by number only.
If a cover puzzles you during fitting, keep the backing on and call 877-752-3811.

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.
