Product Description
Kia Soul 2010-2013 Roof Insert Trim, 8-Piece Polished Stainless (RI10830)
RI10830 is an eight-piece polished stainless roof insert trim set for the Kia Soul 4-door hatchback, model years 2010 through 2013. Where most QAA accents are a single strip, this is a multi-piece kit for the roof.
What a roof insert is
In general terms, a roof insert trim is a strip of bright metal that sits in or along a recessed channel or molding on the roof, giving a line of contrast up top. The record doesn't describe exactly where each of these eight pieces goes or how long each one is, so look at the product photos to see the layout on the car.
Eight pieces, one kit
All eight Soul inserts are 26-gauge 304 stainless steel with a mirror polish, made in the USA. They fasten with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape onto the roof's current surface, and QAA says the tape holds for a lifetime without damaging the Kia.
Sort before you stick
With eight parts, organization matters. Lay them out on a soft towel with liners on, match each to its spot using the photos, and label them with painter's tape if it helps. Don't peel a liner until every piece has a known home.
Working on a roof
A step stool or a sturdy ladder makes the Soul roof job safer and easier. Wash the roof, dry it fully, and wipe each footprint with a residue-free cleaner, changing cloths until one stays clean. Roofs collect more grime than other panels, so be thorough.
Applying
Dry-fit each piece and mark its position. Peel, press at the center, and work outward, giving the ends firm pressure. Fit a few inserts, step down and compare from the front and rear, then fit the rest to match. A dry, mild day is best. The Installation tab has the steps.

Window package differences
WP10830 is the full package with upper trim, pillar posts, and sills. WP10831 includes upper trim and pillar posts but no sills. WP10832 includes upper trim and sills but no pillar posts.
Care
Give the tape a few days before washing, then mild soap and a soft cloth. On solid polished 304, a light scuff only reveals more steel; there's no plating.
To be clear
The eight Soul roof pieces are a decorative overlay and don't replace any factory part.

Installation tips: Roof Insert 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.
