Product Description
Eight-Piece Stainless Pillar Post Set for the 2011-2016 Kia Sportage SUV (PP11837)
If you want the most pillar coverage QAA offers for the 2011-2016 Kia Sportage, this is the set to look at. PP11837 has eight pieces of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, for the Sportage tagged 4-door SUV. The smaller sets are PP11835 (four pieces) and PP11836 (six pieces).
The catalog nowhere describes what the further pieces cover. None of the three listings has notes or names its pillars. The photos show the shapes, and comparing them against your own vehicle is the only reliable way to decide. If every piece in the eight-piece photos matches a pillar you want covered, buy this set. If some don't, a smaller set may suit you better. The data doesn't say whether the sets overlap, so order one.
Don't double up with WP11835
WP11835 is a 12-piece Window Trim Package that includes Upper Trim and Pillar Posts, NO Window Sills. Before buying it and this set together, compare photos or call. WP11836 is on the sheet by number only, so its contents aren't known here; call before pairing it with this set.
Rest of the sheet
SGB11835, 3-piece grille accent, mesh design. TH11835, 6-piece rocker insert kit, with trim crease, side molding, 2.625-3. TH11836, 2-piece trim on the rocker, installs below the door, 1.25. RD11835, 1-piece rear deck accent, 1.75 wide, sold separately; it is listed for this SUV, so check its photos for where it sits.
How it attaches
3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, installed directly over the existing surface. No holes, nothing taken off.
Working through eight
Clean first: soapy wash, rinse, dry, then rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth. Strip wax or coatings from the tape area.
Sort the pieces on a towel, following the photos. Dry-fit each with its liner on. If one won't follow the pillar, it may belong in another spot. Mark the ends with painter's tape and write the location on the liner once you're sure.
Then peel and press, one piece at a time, firmly along the length and down both edges. A step stool helps at the upper ends. After four are on, stand back and see how they line up with the remaining four. Follow the Installation tab's temperature range and cure time.
Before ordering
Check your Sportage falls in 2011 to 2016. Questions: Quality Automotive Trims, 877-752-3811, quoting PP11837.
Care
For upkeep, use mild soap, water and a soft cloth rather than abrasive pads.
Tools and light
Bucket, sponge, microfiber towels, rubbing alcohol, painter's tape, a marker for the liners and the product photos. Work in open shade or a well-lit garage so glare off the glass and polished steel doesn't hide a crooked edge. With eight pieces, a helper who can hand you the next one and check alignment from a distance saves time.
If anything on the sheet or in the photos leaves you unsure, a quick call before ordering is always the easier fix.

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.
