Product Description
Toyota C-HR 2018-2023 Eight-Piece Stainless Pillar Post Set (PP18142)
Eight polished covers for the pillars of a Toyota C-HR 4-door crossover, 2018 to 2023. PP18142 is the middle of the five C-HR pillar sets, two steps up from the four-piece and two below the twelve.
The main thing to settle before buying is whether you want a pillar set at all, or one of the window packages. The twenty-piece package WP18140 already bundles upper trim, sills and pillar posts in one box, so it would overlap with this set. The eight-piece WP18141 and four-piece WP18142 each state that they contain no pillar posts, so either can go alongside a pillar set. If you're unsure which way to go, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP18142 and describe the look you're after.
If a pillar set is the plan, the choice is between 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 pieces: PP18140, PP18141, this set, PP18143 and PP18144. Only the four-piece carries a note ("With Top Trim Crease"); this listing has none. The catalog doesn't name the pillars any set covers or give widths, so look at the galleries. Shapes that appear in this gallery and not in the others are what set it apart, and shapes that appear only in another set's photos are what you'd be choosing not to have. If a neighbouring C-HR set appeals too, compare the photos or call before ordering both.
The fitment row is Toyota C-HR, 2018-2023, tagged 4-door and Crossover SUV. The set is listed at $95.49. C-HRs from 2018 through 2023 are listed.
The covers are 26 gauge 304 stainless steel with a polished face, made in the USA. They mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface, so no drilling and no trim removal. The tape's temperature range and cure time are on the Installation tab.
WS18140, TH18140, FV18140, DH18140, RD18140 and LP18140 are linked to this sheet by number only; check each listing for what it is.
Putting eight covers on
Plan an unhurried session on a dry, mild day out of direct sun, ideally with a helper. Unpack, count eight and match them to the gallery; phone about anything bent or missing before you start.
Cleaning makes the bond. Shampoo the pillar areas, rinse and dry with a microfibre. Wipe each spot with isopropyl alcohol on a fresh cloth and let it evaporate. If there's wax, sealant or a ceramic coat on those spots, remove it.
Lay the eight out on a towel and match them to the photos. Test each against the vehicle with its liner on, sight down the edges, and mark its place with painter's tape. A pencil note on each liner stops pieces getting mixed up. With everything mapped, peel and press one cover at a time, firmly from end to end and along both edges. Every few covers, step back and check the lines.
If a cover won't seat, leave its liner on and ring 877-752-3811. After the cure, wash with regular car soap.

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.
