Product Description
PP12708 Toyota Prius C Pillar Post Set, Ten Polished 304 Stainless Pieces (2012-2019)
Ten pieces puts PP12708 second from the top of the Prius C pillar range. Only the twelve-piece PP12709 is bigger; below sit PP12707 (eight), PP12706 (six) and PP12705 (four). This set is polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, listed for the Toyota Prius C, 2012-2019, tagged 4-door hatchback.
Ten or twelve is the comparison to make here, and it's one the catalog can't settle for you. Neither listing has notes. Neither names a pillar. The difference is two pieces, and the only place to see what those two pieces are is in the photos. Put the ten-piece and twelve-piece photos side by side and look for the shapes that appear in one but not the other, then find the matching spots on your car. If you'd rather leave those further spots bare, ten pieces will do the job. If you do, look at twelve. One set either way, because the data doesn't say whether they overlap.
The span on the row is long, 2012 through 2019, so check your Prius C's year on the registration and call us if it's outside. The body tag is 4-door hatchback and the model is the Prius C specifically. If any of that doesn't match your car, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and give us PP12708.
The sheet also lists TH12705 (a 4-piece lower rocker kit, doors only, from the bottom of the door up to the listed 1.5), WS12705 (a 4-piece window sill trim set) and GC12705 (a 1-piece gas door cover trim). LB12705, RD12705, LP12705 and RB12705 appear without details.
Attachment is 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape and the pieces go directly over the existing surface, so there's no drilling and no trim removal.
Ten pieces is a real sorting job, so set aside time for it. Clean the pillars first with soapy water, rinse, and let them dry completely; then degrease with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth. Remove any wax or coating where tape will sit. Next, lay the pieces on a soft towel in the order the photos show. Hold each one up with its liner on and check that it sits flush. When it does, put a strip of painter's tape at each end and jot the spot on the liner. Only when all ten are marked should the first liner come off.
From there, align each piece with its marks and press firmly with your thumbs from end to end, then along both edges. Do five, then the rest, and compare from a little distance. The Installation tab gives the temperature window and the cure time to wait before washing.
If a piece won't sit flush on either side, stop. Take a photo of it held in place and call us before peeling.
Afterwards, mild soap and a soft cloth are all it needs. Keep steel wool and scouring pads away from the polish.
The Fitment and Specs tabs list the data for the ten pieces.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 10 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.
