Product Description
PP28452: Eight-Piece Polished Pillar Trim, Subaru Tribeca 2008-2014
Eight covers is the top count offered for the Tribeca's pillars, and PP28452 is where you'll find it. The price is $95.49. Material: 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished, made in the USA. Fitment: Subaru Tribeca, 2008-2014, tagged 4-door, SUV.
Year questions are easy to settle. Title and record name the same vehicle over the same seven years, without exceptions. Confirm yours in your records; if it isn't inside that span, contact Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and reference PP28452 before you commit.
The bigger question is whether eight covers suit you. The alternatives, PP28450 with four and PP28451 with six, cost less. None of the three names the pillars involved or lists widths, so photographs are the only evidence available. Study this gallery hardest, since it shows the most pieces. If every shape in it corresponds to a post you'd like polished, go ahead. If not, compare the other two galleries before deciding. One listing per vehicle.
All eight are appearance parts. They sit as bright facings over the posts that separate the side windows, and they don't touch the mechanisms that open, seal or glaze the doors. Because the alloy is 304, its corrosion resistance comes from the steel rather than from a coating, and routine washing is the full care regime.
Mounting relies on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, applied directly over the existing surface. There's no drilling and nothing to dismantle. Before choosing a day, read the temperature range and cure time on the Installation tab.
With eight surfaces to ready, set aside proper time. Examine each post closely: residue from polish or wax, a faded matte bloom, minor cracks and lifted edges will all undermine the bond. Remedy them. Then wash, dry fully, and finish with isopropyl alcohol on a fresh lint-free cloth for every post.
Organisation prevents mix-ups. Spread the delivery on a towel, compare each cover with the photographs, and call if anything is bent or missing. Lay all eight out as the photos show. Tape-outline all eight positions while the liners are on, with a pencilled number beside each outline. From several paces away, check that the covers look alike. Peel and press a pair at a time, working the cover down firmly across its length and both edges.
If one refuses to sit flat, keep its liner and ring 877-752-3811. Expect a longer session than the smaller sets require. Dry, mild weather out of strong sun suits it; so does a helper. Use a step stool if the upper edges are hard to see from the ground, and keep water off until the cure time ends.
At $95.49, this is the costliest of the three Tribeca pillar listings, so a two-minute check pays off. Stand beside the SUV, gallery open, and point to a post for each of the eight shapes. Can't place one? Call before ordering, and mention which other Tribeca listing you looked at. The team at Quality Automotive Trims can go through the Tribeca with you.

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.
