Product Description
Eight-Piece Stainless Pillar Post Set, 2016-2020 Honda Civic Hatchback (PP16216)
PP16216 is the largest pillar post set QAA lists for the 2016-2020 Honda Civic hatchback. It has eight polished covers in 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, and it's tagged for the 4-door hatchback only.
Eight versus four and six
Alongside this set, the Civic hatchback row carries PP16214 with four pieces and PP16215 with six. All three listings are bare: no notes, no widths, no pillar names. The further covers are the reason to pick it, but where they go isn't stated, and we won't guess. Look at the eight-piece gallery and then the six-piece one, and note the shapes that only show up here. If they match spots on your car that you'd like dressed, this is your set. Choose one Civic set; its photos show what it covers, and 877-752-3811 can confirm.
Check the body style
Although the title reads simply 2016-2020 Honda Civic, the fitment row is tagged 4-door and Hatchback, and it's the only body style listed. A Civic in any other body isn't covered by this listing. Questions go to Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811; have PP16216 and your model year ready.
How it mounts
Each cover uses 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and goes on directly over the existing surface. There's no drilling, and nothing has to be removed from the car. The Installation tab lists the temperature range and how long the tape needs to cure.
Why stainless
The covers are cut from 304 grade stainless, a workhorse alloy for bright trim, in a 26 gauge sheet that follows the shape below it closely. Since the shine comes from polishing the steel rather than from a plated layer, there is no surface coat to flake later.
Plan for eight
Eight covers take longer than four, so set aside an unhurried hour or two on a dry day, out of direct sun. A helper is useful for holding pieces and judging the line from a distance.
Start with a wash and dry, then wipe each pillar area with isopropyl alcohol and a clean microfibre cloth. Let it flash off. Remove wax, sealant or coatings wherever tape will sit.
Lay the eight out on a soft towel and match them to the photos. Test-fit each with its liner on, mark its spot with painter's tape, and write the location on the liner. Once every piece has a home, peel and press them one at a time, with firm pressure along the length and both edges.
Other parts for this Civic
The sheet also lists TH16214 (four-piece lower rocker panel kit, tapered from a point to 2.125", spanning up from the bottom of the door), WS16214 (six-piece window sill trim, face of sills only), LP16214 (license plate bezel), RB16214 (rear bumper trim accent) and RD16214 (rear deck accent). RD16214 is a rear deck accent for this hatchback, so check its photos first to see where it goes.

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.
