Product Description
PP26182 Eight-Piece Stainless Pillar Post Trim, 2006-2012 Toyota RAV4
PP26182 has the most covers of the three linked RAV4 pillar sets: eight polished stainless pieces for the 2006-2012 Toyota RAV4, tagged 4-door, SUV, at $100.99. Like its counterparts, PP26180 with four and PP26181 with six, it's 26 gauge 304 stainless made in the USA.

The counts are all the table can tell you. None of the listings names its pillars or records a width, so to see what separates them, look through the three galleries and compare the outlines. If you want polished steel everywhere this set's photos show, eight is right. If another gallery matches your plans better, choose that one. Buy a single listing.
Seven model years are listed, 2006-2012. The eight-piece Rav4 row also spans 2006-2012. For questions on fit or count, phone Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 and quote PP26182.
The covers are cosmetic. Each is a slim polished panel for a post between the side windows; doors, glass and seals are unaffected. Grade 304 resists corrosion without plating, so there's nothing to peel and no other metal beneath a scratch. A wash with car soap keeps it right.
Each of the eight covers is held by 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape pressed directly over the existing surface. The RAV4 isn't drilled and keeps all its trim. Temperature range and cure time are on the Installation tab.
Eight covers means eight posts on your 2006-2012 RAV4 to prepare. Work round the Rav4 in order, post by post, so none gets missed. A powdery bloom, crazing, a lifting edge or old wax on any post will undermine that cover, so remedy it. Then wash, rinse, dry, and wipe each with rubbing alcohol on a fresh lint-free cloth. A step stool helps if the upper edges are hard to see from the ground.
Lay out soap, a bucket, alcohol, a good stack of cloths, painter's tape and a pencil. A helper who hands you each cover in order, and checks it against the gallery first, saves a lot of time.
Choose a calm, dry day and shade. Spread the eight covers on a towel, match each to its photo, and call if one is bent or missing. Number eight tape strips. Place every cover with its liner on, square it, and outline it with its numbered strip; nothing gets peeled until all eight are marked. Then fit the eight in turn, pressing each firmly from end to end and down both edges, and compare from the front every couple of covers.
A cover that won't lie flat keeps its liner while you ring 877-752-3811. Keep the SUV dry until the cure time passes; after that it washes with the paint. Before buying, find a post on your RAV4 for each of the eight shapes in the gallery; call first if any leaves you guessing, and mention whether you also looked at the four- or six-piece listing.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 8 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.
