Product Description
Mazda CX-9 Eight-Piece Pillar Trim with Front Triangle (PP17727)
The eight-piece PP17727 is the CX-9 pillar set that says "Includes Front Triangle piece." It's made for the Mazda CX-9 4-door SUV, in polished 304 stainless steel made in the USA, and it's the largest of three CX-9 pillar sets.
The front triangle is the reason to look at this set first. Neither the four-piece PP17725 nor the six-piece PP17726 has a note, so neither mentions a triangle. The note is singular, so expect one front triangle among the eight covers. Its size and exact location aren't given, and the other seven covers aren't named, so the gallery is your guide. Compare it with the six-piece photos and you'll see which outlines appear here alone. Treat the eight-piece CX-9 set as an alternative to the others, and call 877-752-3811 before combining.
The year question
The title reads 2016-2023 Mazda CX-9, and the fitment row, tagged 4-door and SUV, says the same thing in shorthand: "Mazda CX-9 2016-23." All three CX-9 pillar sets share that row, and the Fitment tab writes it out as 2016-2023. A CX-9 from any of those eight model years is listed. If your SUV falls outside them, or the body differs, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP17727 before buying; at $117.49, it's worth the call.
Building and mounting
Each cover is 26 gauge 304 stainless steel with a polished face, so there's no coating to wear through. All eight mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface, without drilling or removing trim. The Installation tab gives the temperature window and cure time.
Working with the triangle
Map the seven longer covers first, with liners on, and mark each spot with painter's tape. That gives you reference points for the triangle. Then hold the triangle up, turn it until all three edges sit within its area, and mark it too. Because a small piece carries little tape, make sure its spot is completely clean and press across its whole face with a soft cloth for a little longer than the others.
The rest of the job
Wash the pillar areas with car shampoo, rinse and dry. Wipe with isopropyl alcohol and let it evaporate, and remove wax or ceramic coating where tape will go. Choose a dry, shaded day. Peel and press the covers one at a time, firmly along their length and both edges. Step back now and then to check the lines. The CX-9 covers are stainless, eight in total.
CX-9 parts that pair with it
Also listed: TH17725, a six-piece rocker panel trim with notes describing a 2 1/8" - 2 5/8" tapered side molding and an insert kit; RD17725, a rear deck accent noted at 5/8" width; HT17725, a hood accent trim; and LP17725, a license plate bezel. Check each one's photos.
Count all eight on arrival and report anything bent or missing before you begin. If the triangle or any cover puzzles you, keep its liner on and call 877-752-3811.

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.
