Product Description
Toyota Prius 2004-2009 Hatchback Pillar Post Trim, Four Pieces (PP24135)
PP24135 dresses the pillar posts of a 2004-2009 Toyota Prius 4-door hatchback with four polished stainless covers. It's $56.99, made in the USA, and linked to a six-piece alternative, PP24136. A long list of other Prius trim is linked as well, and two of those listings have notes that bear directly on pillar covers.
The two window packages
WP24135 is a Window Trim Package whose catalog note says it includes upper trim, pillar posts and window sills. WP24136 is a Window Trim Package whose note says upper trim only, with no pillar posts and no window sills. The listings don't state how either relates to this set. If you're considering WP24135, compare its photos with these before buying both. If you're considering WP24136, its own note says it has no pillar posts, so check its page for what it covers. Quality Automotive Trims can talk it through on 877-752-3811; quote PP24135.
Four or six
The two pillar listings name no pillars and give no widths or notes. Open both galleries and find the shapes that appear only in the six-piece photos. If you don't want those areas in stainless, four covers is the quicker fit. One Prius set at a time: if two appeal, look at their photos or ring us first.
Other linked listings
Also linked: GC24135 (Gas Door Cover Trim), LP24135 (License Plate Bezel), RD24135 (Rear Deck Accent) and TH24135 (Rocker Panel Trim, On the rocker), plus WQ24135 and WS24135 by number. Separate products, each on its own page.
Fitment
Toyota Prius, 2004-2009, 4-door, Hatchback. Six model years. This four-piece set is tagged for a Prius from 2004 to 2009.
Steel and mounting
The Prius covers are 26 gauge 304 stainless, polished rather than plated, so there's no coating to peel. Each mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing pillar surface, with no drilling and no trim removed. The Installation tab gives the working temperatures and cure time for the Prius covers.
The bond depends on the finish beneath. Look for a chalky film, crazing or an edge that's starting to lift on each post, and have it repaired first. A smooth, firm post just needs cleaning.
Before you order
Take the gallery out to the Prius on your phone. Match each of the four shapes to a post and feel the finish there. Both checks take a couple of minutes.
Fitting
On a dry, calm day in the shade, compare the four covers with the photos and call if one is bent or missing. Wash and dry the posts, then wipe each with isopropyl alcohol until a fresh lint-free cloth stays clean. Compare the covers with the photos. Hold each in place with its liner on and outline it with painter's tape. Peel, place and press firmly along the full length and both edges, then fit the next cover straight after so you can compare.
If a Prius cover won't settle flat, leave its liner in place and call 877-752-3811. Once cured, car soap and a soft towel keep the four covers clean. Plan an unhurried session, mostly spent cleaning and marking.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 4 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.
