Product Description
Twelve-Piece Stainless Pillar Post Trim for the Toyota Prius C, 2012-2019 (PP12709)
PP12709 is the most complete Prius C pillar set QAA lists: twelve pieces of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. Its row names the Toyota Prius C, model years 2012 through 2019, tagged 4-door hatchback. The smaller sets are PP12708 (ten), PP12707 (eight), PP12706 (six) and PP12705 (four).
What twelve gets you
More pieces than any other Prius C set on the sheet. What the catalog doesn't tell you is which pillars they are. None of the five listings carries notes or names its pillars. So treat the photos as the specification: if every piece pictured matches a pillar you'd like in polished steel, this is the set. If some of them don't, a smaller set may cover what you want for less fitting. Order one set; the data doesn't say whether they overlap.

A plan for twelve pieces
Step one, clean. Soapy water, rinse, full dry, then a degreasing wipe with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth. Strip wax or coatings from the tape areas.
Step two, label. Before anything touches the car, lay all twelve on a towel in two rows matching the photos. Put a small piece of painter's tape on each liner with a short description of where it goes, so nothing gets mixed up mid-job.
Step three, dry-fit. Hold each piece up with the liner on and check that it sits flush along its length. If it doesn't, check the photos again. Mark both ends on the car with painter's tape.
Step four, press. Peel one liner, align with the marks, and use firm thumb pressure from end to end and along both edges. Fit six, then the rest.
Step five, check. Stand back and compare all twelve. The Installation tab gives the temperature window and the cure time before washing.
When to pause
If a piece won't sit flush on either side, don't peel it. Photograph it held in place and call us. A helper is handy too, both for passing pieces and for judging alignment from a distance.
Care
Clean the twelve pieces with mild soap and a soft cloth, never steel wool.
Fitment and Specs carry the listing data.
What to have ready
Bucket, soapy water, a sponge, soft towels, rubbing alcohol and a lint-free cloth, painter's tape, a marker, a step stool and the photos on a phone or tablet. Work out of direct sun, since glare off glass and polished steel hides small misalignments.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 12 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.
