PP17236: Six-Piece Stainless Pillar Covers, 2017-2022 Honda CR-V
PP17236 is the six-piece pillar post set for the 2017-2022 Honda CR-V 4-door SUV, the bigger of the two CR-V pillar listings. It's made of polished 304 stainless steel in the USA and mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, no drilling.
Who it fits. One row: Honda CR-V 2017-2022, 4-door, SUV. If your vehicle doesn't match, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP17236.
Six versus four. The other CR-V pillar set, PP17235, has four covers. Neither listing has notes or names its pillars, so the galleries are where the difference shows. Compare them and look for outlines that appear here and not in the four-piece photos. Settle on one CR-V set; the photos show what each covers, and we can confirm.
The price gap. This set is listed at $100.99, well above the four-piece set's price. That's a bigger step than two more covers might suggest, and the catalog doesn't explain it. We've flagged it for review, so call to confirm the price and contents before ordering.
Material. 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished. With no plating on top, the shine is the steel itself, and there's nothing to chip.
Mounting. 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface. Nothing is drilled, unclipped or removed. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and cure time.
Other CR-V parts on this sheet. TH17235 is a six-piece rocker panel insert kit, described as "Check mark insert trim" that "Fits inside indentation in plastic lower area." LB17235 is a one-piece license bar, an above-plate accent trim. RD17235 is a one-piece rear deck accent at 1.75, noted "With trim crease," listed for this SUV; look at its photos first.
What pillar trim actually does. The pillars are the upright panels that surround the side windows. The six covers are thin, shaped stainless pieces laid over the CR-V's post faces, giving a bright finish with the panels beneath untouched. It is a cosmetic upgrade, and installing it is mostly a matter of careful cleaning, marking and pressing, which is why you won't need power tools.
Getting ready. Count six covers when the box arrives and match each to the photos. Report anything bent or missing before you start. Pick a dry, shaded day.
Cleaning. Wash, rinse and dry the pillar areas. Wipe each with rubbing alcohol on a clean microfibre and let it flash off. Remove wax, sealant or ceramic coating where the tape will land.
Fitting. Check the covers against the photos and keep their backings on. Offer each one up, sight down both edges, and mark its place with painter's tape, pencilling the location on the backing. When all six are mapped, peel and press them one at a time with firm pressure from end to end and along both edges. Work through the rest the same way, stepping back every so often to check the lines are even.
Help. If a cover won't seat, keep its backing on and ring 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.
