Product Description
PP17846: Six Stainless Pillar Covers, Kia Cadenza Sedan 2017-2020
Six is the larger of the two pillar counts QAA offers for the Kia Cadenza. PP17846 carries six polished 304 stainless covers for the 4-door sedan, model years 2017 through 2020, while its sibling PP17845 carries four. Same row, same steel, same tape.
The obvious question is what the two further covers are for, and the honest answer is that the catalog doesn't say. Neither listing has notes or names its pillars, and no widths are given. That isn't a reason to guess. The two photo galleries show every outline, so set them next to each other and look for the shapes that appear here and nowhere in the four-piece pictures. Should those shapes land on spots of the car you'd like brightened, this set at $100.99 deserves a look. If they don't matter to you, the smaller set will do. Choose one Cadenza listing, and compare galleries first, since the record doesn't say whether the sets share covers.
Fitment is a single line: Kia Cadenza, 2017-2020, 4-door, Sedan. Nothing else is listed, either for other body styles or for other years. Look at the year, and if your car is outside the row, ring Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 before you order. Mention PP17846 so they can find it quickly.
Each cover is cut from 26 gauge 304 stainless steel and polished, and the set is made in the USA. Because the brightness is the metal itself, there's no coating to peel. The covers fix with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape straight onto the existing surface, so the job involves no drilling and no taking the car apart.
A sensible way to install six
Read the Installation tab first. It gives the tape's temperature range and cure time, which decide your day: dry, mild weather, out of strong sunlight, with time afterwards for the car to stay dry.
Open the box and count six covers, then match each one to its photo. If something is bent or missing, stop and call before going further.
Clean properly. Soap and water first, a rinse, and a full dry. Then an alcohol wipe on each spot that will take a cover, using a lint-free cloth. Remove any wax or ceramic layer from those areas; tape grips paint and trim, not coatings.
Map before you stick. Pair the six Cadenza covers with the gallery, and with liners on, hold each to the car until you're sure of its spot. Mark that place with painter's tape and write it on the liner in pencil.
Then press. One cover at a time: liner off, onto the marks, firm pressure from end to end and along both edges. The next cover goes on after it, and so on through the set. A quick look from a few steps back every couple of covers keeps the lines even.
Anything that won't sit flat should keep its liner until you've phoned 877-752-3811. After the cure, a normal wash with car soap keeps the finish bright; skip abrasive pads.

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.
