Product Description
Eight-Piece Pillar Post Trim for the Honda Ridgeline, 2017-2026 (PP17242)
PP17242 is the largest of three Ridgeline pillar post sets: eight polished stainless covers for the Honda Ridgeline 4-door pickup, 2017 through 2026. Before anything else, check where your truck sits in that span.
The years
The fitment row reads Honda Ridgeline 2017-2026, matching the four- and six-piece sets, and the title gives the same span. Older copies of the title show the end year with one digit too many; if you saw that elsewhere, go by 2017-2026. If you have any doubt, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP17242.
Eight covers, no notes
The listing gives eight pieces and nothing else about coverage: no notes, no width and no pillar names. The four-piece PP17240 is the only Ridgeline set with a note ("Includes top crease"); the six-piece PP17241 and this set don't mention it. So don't assume the top crease is in this box. Compare the three galleries and look for outlines that appear in this one and not in the others. If those shapes are what you want, this is your set. The eight Ridgeline covers are pictured; call 877-752-3811 to check they cover what you want.
Why choose the largest set
If the further outlines in this gallery are spots you'd like in stainless, buying the eight-piece set up front is simpler than fitting pieces later. It's listed at $95.49.
Material
Polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. No plating, so the finish can't flake; it's the steel. The thin gauge lets each cover lie close to the surface it's bonded to.
Mounting
On the 2017-2026 Ridgeline, each of the eight covers mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing pillar surface, with no drilling and nothing removed. Check the Installation tab's temperature range and cure time.
Matching Ridgeline pieces
Listed for the same truck: TH17240, a twelve-piece upper rocker panel kit tapered 2" - 2.625" that spans from the bottom of the molding crease down; RT17240, a single tailgate accent trim listed at 1" width X 59" length; and RW17240, a pair of sliding rear window trim accents. If you plan to fit any of them, look at all the photos together first.
A longer session
Eight covers takes more time than four, so plan a relaxed session on a dry, mild day in the shade. Unpack, count eight and match each piece to the photos. Report anything bent or missing before you start.
Wash the pillar areas with soap and water, rinse and dry. Wipe each with isopropyl alcohol on a clean cloth and let it flash off. Remove any wax or coating where tape will sit.
Lay the covers on a towel and match them to the photos. Dry-fit each one with its liner on, mark its place with painter's tape and write the location on the liner. When everything is mapped, peel and press one at a time, firmly along the length and both edges. A step stool and a helper both make it easier.
Stuck on a piece? Leave the 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.
