Product Description
Mazda CX-5 2013-2016 Eight-Piece Pillar Post Trim with Front Triangle Piece (PP13722)
The note on PP13722 is short and useful: "Includes Front Triangle piece." That's the detail that separates this eight-piece set from the four-piece PP13720 and six-piece PP13721, neither of which has a note. All three are listed for the Mazda CX-5, 2013-2016, 4-door SUV, and PP13722 is made of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel in the USA.
About that front triangle
The note confirms there's a triangle-shaped cover at the front in this set. It doesn't state its size or exact spot, so check the photos to see its outline. If you're not sure your CX-5 has an area that matches, take a picture of the front of your side glass and call 877-752-3811 with PP13722 before ordering.
Choosing among the three
| Set | Pieces | Note |
|---|---|---|
| PP13720 | 4 | none |
| PP13721 | 6 | none |
| PP13722 | 8 | Includes Front Triangle piece |
None of the listings says which pillars it covers. If the triangle matters to you, this is the only set that says it's included. Otherwise compare the three photo galleries and pick the one that covers what you want. Settle on one CX-5 set; look at the galleries before ordering another.
How it goes on
3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape holds each cover directly over the existing surface. There's no drilling and nothing to remove.
Preparation
Give the pillars and the glass edges a hand wash with mild soap, rinse, and dry. Wipe with isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth, then let it evaporate. Strip wax or coatings from the tape areas.
Placement order
Eight covers reward patience. Keep every liner on during the dry run and match each cover to its spot, writing the position on the liner and marking the ends with painter's tape. Set the larger pillar covers first. Leave the triangle pieces until their neighbors are down, so you can line them up by eye against the covers beside them. Peel one liner at a time and press firmly end to end and along both edges. Four, then the rest to match. The Installation tab lists temperature range and cure time.
Stainless and conditions
Polished 304 has no plated layer to peel, and the 26 gauge sheet sits slim against each pillar. Install on a dry day in shade or a garage, and have a helper judge level from a few paces back.
Tools to gather
A bucket, mild car soap, a couple of clean towels, rubbing alcohol, a lint-free cloth, a roll of painter's tape and a pencil for the liners. A step stool helps with the upper ends of the pillars, where firm pressure matters as much as anywhere else. Keep the photos open on a phone so you can check each shape against them during the dry run.
Arrival and upkeep
Count all eight CX-5 covers, triangle included, against the gallery and set them out in order so nothing goes missing mid-job. Afterward, mild soap and a soft cloth keep the polish bright. CX-5 owners outside 2013-2016 should call 877-752-3811 first.

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.
