Product Description
K5 Six-Piece Polished Pillar Covers, Kia 2021-2026 Sedan (PP71806)
PP71806 is the six-piece pillar kit for the Kia K5. The polished stainless steel covers are listed for the 4-door K5 sedan in model years 2021 through 2026, and they sit in the middle of QAA's three K5 pillar options. On the K5 sedan, it sits between the four-piece PP71805 and the eight-piece PP71807.
Middle option
Below it is the four-piece PP71805; above it, the eight-piece PP71807. Same fitment across all three. The catalog does not detail which posts each kit covers, so look at the photos on the three listings to compare coverage. Six is the balanced choice for owners who want noticeable stainless without the fullest set.
Vehicle
Kia K5, 4-door sedan, 2021 through 2026. The Fitment tab shows the record as QAA keeps it.
Stainless, not chrome
The six covers are made in the USA from 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge and polished to a mirror shine. There is no plated layer, so the finish does not wear thin and all six pieces match.
Building a coordinated sedan
Pillar trim works well with other K5 pieces QAA lists. The six-piece WS71805 sill set dresses the face of the window sills. The four-piece TH71805 rocker kit installs below the doors, tapering from 2.25 to 2.75 inches wide. WQ71805 is six wheel well accents. At the rear there are RB71805, RD71805, and LP71805, plus GC71805 on the gas door.
Install, start to finish
The six K5 covers go on over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says it will hold for a lifetime without harming the Kia.
- Wait for mild, dry weather and keep the K5 in shade.
- Wash and dry each K5 pillar, then remove the wax.
- Match the six covers to their pillars with the photos.
- Compare each K5 cover with the photos as you dry-fit.
- Remove the liner, then press down firmly over the full cover.
- Hold off on washing the K5 for a few days.
Read the whole procedure on the Installation tab.
An even K5 outline
Fit the first K5 cover and use it as a template for the other five. Step back between pieces so small misalignments are caught before the tape is pressed.
Care
Mild soap, a rinse, and a soft towel. Keep scouring pads away from the polished faces, and dry the covers after washing so water spots do not dull the reflection.
Before you order
Confirm that your car is a K5 sedan from 2021 through 2026, using the year on the registration. Then decide how much stainless you want. Six is a comfortable middle, but if you already know you want the boldest look, the eight-piece kit may suit you better. Each kit is a complete set rather than a supplement, so think the three listings over carefully before you choose. QAA can also describe the differences by phone.
What pillar trim is
Pillars are the vertical posts that frame the side windows. Polished covers outline them in bright metal and leave the original surface untouched underneath.

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.
