Product Description
Kia Sorento Eight-Piece Pillar Post Trim, Mirror Stainless, 2021-2026 (PP71822)
When four or six covers are not enough, PP71822 is the Sorento pillar kit to look at. It contains eight polished stainless steel covers and is listed for the 4-door Kia Sorento SUV, model years 2021 through 2026, making it the largest of QAA's three Sorento kits.
Most covers in the range
PP71820 has four pieces and PP71821 has six; this kit has eight. All three share fitment. QAA does not record which posts each kit dresses, so we will not say this set covers every pillar. What the data does show is that it carries the most stainless of the three, and the listing photos show the shapes.
Is your Sorento listed?
Kia Sorento, 4-door SUV, 2021 through 2026. That is the only vehicle in the record. The Fitment tab shows it exactly. If the year on your registration falls outside that range, call QAA before ordering.
Made in the USA from 304 stainless
All eight covers are cut from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel and polished to a mirror finish. With no plated surface, the shine cannot peel, and the full set matches.
The look you get
The pillars are the posts that frame the side glass. With eight polished covers, the windows pick up a bold, continuous outline in bright metal. Everything here is cosmetic; the covers sit over the original posts without changing them.
Attachment and install
For the Sorento, each cover sticks over the existing pillar finish using 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime and causes no damage to the SUV.
Group the eight Sorento pieces by position on a soft towel. Wash, dry, and de-wax each pillar. Dry-fit every cover, then peel and press firmly along its length. Press one, step back, and copy its reveal on the others. A dry, mild day is best, and the tape should go a few days without washing. The Installation tab gives each step.
One crooked piece shows
With eight covers in a row, the eye reads them as a single line, so a piece set slightly off stands out. A patient dry-fit, checked against the photos, prevents that.
Keeping it clean
Rinse away grit, wash with mild soap, and dry with a soft towel. Keep abrasive pads and harsh chemicals off the polish, and dry the steel to stop water spots.
Before ordering
Check the year on your registration, and lay out the photos for all three Sorento kits side by side. That comparison usually settles the question of how many covers you want. If it does not, QAA can describe the kits by phone.
Is eight right for you?
If you want the strongest pillar look QAA lists for the Sorento, yes. If you prefer a calmer style, the six-piece kit is the step down. Each kit is complete on its own, so you only need one.

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.
