Product Description
PP17726: Six Polished Pillar Covers for the Mazda CX-9
PP17726 puts six polished stainless covers on the pillars of a Mazda CX-9 4-door SUV. It is the middle option of three CX-9 pillar sets, and like its siblings it writes its years in a short form worth reading first.
Which years? The title says 2016-2023. The fitment row agrees but abbreviates it as "Mazda CX-9 2016-23," and the Fitment tab shows that row as 2016-2023 for the 4-door SUV. Any CX-9 from 2016 through 2023 is listed. If your model year or body reads differently, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP17726 before ordering, and they can confirm fit.
How is it different from the other two? The four-piece PP17725 has no notes; the eight-piece PP17727 is noted "Includes Front Triangle piece." This six-piece set has no notes either, so a front triangle isn't stated to be in it. None of the listings names its pillars. The galleries show the outlines, so compare them for shapes that appear in one set only, and order the one set you want. With the CX-9, it's one set or the other; we can help you decide by phone.
Why does it cost more than the four-piece? It's listed at $106.49, a sizeable step from the smaller set for two more covers. The catalog doesn't explain the gap, so we've flagged it, and a quick call to confirm price and contents is sensible.
What's it made of? 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished, made in the USA. No plating, so the bright face is the metal and can't flake.
How does it attach? Each CX-9 cover goes onto the SUV's existing pillar surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape; no holes, no Mazda trim removed. The Installation tab gives the temperatures and cure time for the CX-9 job.
What else is on the CX-9 sheet? A six-piece rocker panel trim, TH17725, whose notes mention a 2 1/8" - 2 5/8" tapered width side molding and an insert kit (its photos show where it runs); a rear deck accent, RD17725, noted at 5/8" width for this SUV; a hood accent trim, HT17725; and a license plate bezel, LP17725.
How do I get ready? Count six covers on arrival and match them to the photos, calling first about anything bent or missing. Choose a dry day in the shade. Wash the pillar areas, rinse, dry, then wipe each with rubbing alcohol on a clean microfibre and let it flash. Remove wax or coatings where tape will sit.
How should I fit them? Match the covers to the photos, backings on. Offer each one up, sight along its edges, and mark its place with painter's tape, writing the location on the backing. When the layout is settled, peel and press one at a time, rubbing firmly end to end and along both edges.
What if a cover won't line up? Leave its backing on and ring 877-752-3811. It's much easier to sort out a fit question before the tape is exposed than after a cover is down.

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.
