PP17826: Six-Piece Niro Pillar Trim with Rear Triangle, 2017-2022
PP17826 is the six-piece pillar post set for the 2017-2022 Kia Niro 4-door SUV, and it's the only Niro pillar listing with a note: "Includes Rear Triangle piece."
Why the note matters. The four-piece PP17825 and the eight-piece PP17827 have no notes. That means this middle set is the one the catalog says includes a rear triangle. It's a little unusual for the note to sit on the middle set rather than the largest, and the eight-piece listing doesn't say either way, so we've flagged it for review. If you're deciding between six and eight because of the triangle, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP17826.
One triangle. The note is singular, so expect one rear triangle piece among the six. Its size and position aren't given, and the other five covers aren't named. The photos show each outline; compare them with the other two galleries before ordering. If another Niro set appeals as well, check the photos or ring 877-752-3811.
Fitment. Kia Niro, 2017-2022, 4-door, SUV. One row. Niros of 2017 to 2022 are the ones this set is tagged for.
Material. 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished, made in the USA. No plating, so there's no layer to wear through.
Mounting. 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface. You won't drill or remove any trim. The Installation tab covers the temperature range and cure time.
Price. Listed at $89.99.
Preparing the Niro. Wash the pillar areas and the surround where the triangle will go, rinse and dry with a microfibre towel. Wipe everything with rubbing alcohol on a clean cloth and let it evaporate. Small pieces carry little tape, so be thorough cleaning the triangle's spot. Remove wax or ceramic coating where tape will sit. A dry day in the shade is ideal.
Fitting order. Count six covers on arrival and identify the triangle from the photos. Match the other five to the photos. With backings on, dry-fit each long cover and mark its place with painter's tape. Then try the triangle in its spot, turning it until all three edges sit right, and mark it too. Peel and press the long covers one at a time, firmly along their length and both edges. Finish with the triangle, pressing across its whole face with a soft cloth.
What pillar trim is. The pillars are the upright panels that frame the side glass. Each cover here is a thin, shaped stainless piece laid over the face of one, giving it a bright finish while the panel underneath stays exactly as it was. That's why there's no drilling or disassembly involved.
Care. After the cure time, wash with regular car soap and a soft mitt, and dry with a clean towel. Avoid abrasive pads.
Tools. Soap, rubbing alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil. A helper is welcome but not essential.
Help. Report anything bent or missing before starting. If a cover won't line up, keep its backing on and phone 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.
