Product Description
Mazda3 2014-2018 Eight-Piece Pillar Post Set with Rear Triangle Piece (PP14752)
PP14752 is the Mazda3 pillar set that names a further piece: its note reads "Includes Rear Triangle piece." It's eight covers in polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, for the Mazda Mazda3 2014-2018, and it mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface.
The triangle piece and the body tags
Here's the wrinkle worth knowing. The fitment row lists 4-door, Sedan and Hatchback on one line, so the catalog treats both bodies as one fit. The note doesn't say whether the rear triangle piece is shaped for the sedan, the hatchback or both, and it gives no size. We've flagged that combined tag for review. Before you order, look at the triangle in the photos and compare it with the rear side glass area of your own Mazda3. If you can't tell, take a picture and call 877-752-3811 with PP14752 and your body style.
Compared with the other two Mazda3 sets
| Set | Pieces | Note |
|---|---|---|
| PP14750 | 4 | none |
| PP14751 | 6 | none |
| PP14752 | 8 | Includes Rear Triangle piece |
Only this listing mentions a triangle piece. None of the three names its pillars, so compare galleries to see the other shapes. If the triangle matters to you, this is the set that says it's included. The Mazda3 sets are alternatives; call 877-752-3811 before combining them.
Mounting and metal
Tape only, directly over the existing surface: no drilling, no trim removed. Polished 304 has no coating to lift, and the 26 gauge sheet keeps each cover slim.
Prep
Wash the pillars and the area around the rear side glass with car shampoo, rinse and dry. Wipe with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth and let it evaporate. Remove wax or coating where tape will sit.
Placing eight covers
Lay them out on a towel next to the photos. Fit the larger covers first, liner on, checking that each one's edges run evenly along its post, then tab the ends with painter's tape and write the spot on the liner. Leave the triangle pieces until their neighbors are mapped, so you can line them up against the covers beside them. When all eight are mapped, peel and press one cover at a time, firmly from end to end and along each edge. Look at the Mazda3 from a few steps away after each pair of covers. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and cure time.
Conditions
A dry day in shade or a garage, a cool panel and a step stool for the upper ends. Allow more time than you would for a smaller set; eight covers, including the triangles, take a careful dry run. A helper a few paces back can judge level before each liner comes off.
Tools
For the Mazda3's eight covers, gather a bucket of car shampoo, microfiber towels, rubbing alcohol, a lint-free cloth, painter's tape and a marker.
On arrival
Count eight covers, triangle included, against the photos. If a piece won't sit right, keep it on its liner, try a different pillar, and then call Quality Automotive Trims. Car soap and a soft cloth keep it bright.

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.
