Product Description
Ten-Piece Stainless Pillar Post Set, Toyota Prius 2016-2022 (PP16138)
PP16138 gives a 2016-2022 Toyota Prius 4-door hatchback ten polished pillar covers. Only the twelve-piece PP16139 has more. The covers are 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, and each bonds with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape straight onto the existing surface, so the job needs no drill.
A quick pre-order checklist
- Your car is a Toyota Prius from 2016 through 2022. That's the only row on the sheet.
- It's the 4-door hatchback, the one body style tagged.
- You've looked at the photos for this set and at least one neighbour (PP16137 with eight pieces, PP16139 with twelve).
- You're ordering one pillar set, not two.
- You have a dry day and somewhere out of strong sun to work.
If any item on that list is a question mark, phone Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and quote PP16138.
What ten pieces tells you, and what it doesn't
The listing gives a count and nothing else: no notes, no width, no names for the pillars. That's true of all five Prius sets, the 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12. So the honest way to choose is by eye. Photos show the outline of every cover, and comparing galleries side by side shows which shapes each set brings. We won't guess at which posts these ten are meant for; the pictures settle it better than words could.
About the metal
Type 304 is one of the most widely used grades of stainless steel, and at 26 gauge each cover sits close to the surface beneath it. Because the polish is the steel itself rather than a plated layer, there's no coating that can flake or peel later on.
Related Prius parts
Listed alongside this set for the same car are a four-piece body side molding accent (AT16135), a one-piece gas door cover trim (GC16135) and a four-piece window sill trim set (WS16135). The sheet also links LP16135, WQ16135, RI16135 and RB16135, but only by number. Their own pages describe them.
Ready the car
Soap and water first, then a full dry. Follow with a pass of rubbing alcohol on a lint-free towel over every area that will take a cover, and wait for it to evaporate. Polish, wax or a coating left on the paint or trim weakens the bond, so remove it where tape will land.
Laying out ten covers
Before peeling anything, use the photos to sort the ten by the post each one fits. Test each cover against its spot with the backing in place, check that the edges trace the pillar, and flag the position with painter's tape. Number the backings in pencil if it helps you keep track. Then peel and press one at a time, using firm pressure over the whole face and both edges. The Installation tab covers temperature and how long to wait before washing.
Afterwards
A gentle wash with regular car soap keeps the stainless bright. If any cover lifts or puzzles you during fitting, stop and call 877-752-3811.

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.
