Product Description
Subaru Ascent 2019-2026 Eight-Piece Pillar Post Trim with Triangle Piece (PP19457)
PP19457 is the largest Ascent pillar post set on this sheet, with eight polished stainless covers for the 2019-2026 Subaru Ascent 4-door Crossover SUV, listed at $111.99. Its note reads "Includes triangle piece", and it's the only Ascent set that says so. The four-piece PP19455 and six-piece PP19456 have no notes.
About the triangle. The note confirms a triangle piece is part of the set, but it doesn't say front or rear, how big it is, or exactly where it goes. We won't guess. The photos should show it clearly as the triangular shape among the eight. Compare it with your Ascent, and if you can't find its place, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and ask about PP19457.
The rest of the set. The listing doesn't name the pillars the other covers dress or give a width. The same is true of the smaller sets. So when you compare galleries, look at each outline, not only the count. An eight-piece Ascent set on its own is the intent; call before combining.
Fitment. Subaru Ascent, 2019-2026, 4-door, Crossover SUV. Eight model years on one row. Check your records, and call before buying if the year doesn't match.
Material. 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, polished and made in the USA. The shine is the metal, with no plating to wear off.
Mounting. 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface. No drilling, and none of the Ascent's trim comes off.
Before you start. Read the Installation tab for the tape's temperature range and cure time. Pick a dry, mild day in the shade, and gather mild car soap, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a pencil. A helper is useful, and a stable step stool helps if the upper edges are hard to see from the ground.
Parts check. Lay the eight covers out and compare each with the photos. Find the triangle and set it aside somewhere safe, as small pieces are easy to lose. Call before you begin if anything is bent or missing.
Cleaning. Wash the pillar areas, rinse and dry. Wipe each with isopropyl alcohol and let it flash off. Remove wax or ceramic coating where tape will sit.
Mapping. Hold every cover in place with its liner on, line up the edges and mark them with painter's tape. Pencil each position on its liner.
Pressing. Peel and press one cover at a time, firmly along its full length and both edges. Compare each new cover with the ones before it. Press the triangle with a fingertip, working from its centre out to each point, so it beds down evenly. Stainless steel makes up the eight Ascent covers.
Checking. Step back after every second cover, or have your helper look along the vehicle, so the line stays even.
Problems. A cover that won't sit flat keeps its liner on while you phone 877-752-3811.
Care. Once the cure time has passed, regular car soap and a soft towel for drying will do.

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.
