Product Description
2011-2015 Kia Sorento SUV Eight-Piece Polished Stainless Pillar Trim (PP11822)
The fullest pillar post set QAA lists for the 2011-2015 Kia Sorento is PP11822: eight pieces of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. The fitment row tags the Sorento 4-door SUV, matching the title's years. The smaller sets on the sheet are PP11820 with four pieces and PP11821 with six.
How much more of the car do eight pieces reach? The catalog doesn't say. None of the three pillar listings carries notes, and none names its pillars, so the photos are the honest way to see it. If you want every pillar the set photos show, start here. If some of those pieces cover pillars you'd rather leave alone, one of the smaller sets may suit you better. Order one set; the data doesn't tell us whether they overlap.
The WP11820 question
WP11820 is a 20-piece Window Trim Package whose note reads "Includes Upper Trim, Pillar Posts and Window Sills - FULL Package". Plan on one set per Sorento, and call 877-752-3811 before combining listings. The sheet also lists WP11821, WP11822, WP11823, WQ11820 and WS11820 by number only. Without their details we can't say which, if any, leave the pillars out, so please call before pairing one with this set.
Also on the Sorento sheet
GC11820 (1-piece gas door cover trim); AT11820 (12-piece body side molding accent trim, upper arrow, 1" width); TH11820 (2-piece rocker trim on the rocker, installs below the door, 1.25, use perimeter); TH11821 (4-piece rocker insert kit on the doors, 1.375, use perimeter, side molding).
How it goes on
On the 2011-2015 Sorento, each of the eight covers mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing pillar surface. No drilling, and nothing comes off the Kia.
A careful install
Start with a wash and rinse, dry fully, then a rubbing alcohol wipe on a lint-free cloth. Strip any wax or coating where the tape will go.
Eight pieces take some sorting. Lay them out the way the photos show. Hold each in place with the liner still on. If one doesn't follow its pillar, try it in another spot. When it's right, mark both ends with painter's tape and write the location on the liner.
Peel, set and press each piece firmly along its length and down both edges. Do four, then the rest, and compare them from a few steps away. A step stool helps with the upper ends. Follow the Installation tab's temperature range, and wait the cure time before washing.
Confirm your vehicle
Kia Sorento, 4-door SUV, model year 2011 to 2015. If anything differs, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP11822.
Care
Wash the eight pieces with mild soap, water and a soft cloth, and avoid scouring pads.
Specs and Fitment tabs list the data.
If a piece won't settle
Stop before peeling. Check it against the photos and the other pillars; if it still looks wrong, take a photo of it held in place and call us. That's much easier to sort out before the tape is down.

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.
