Product Description
Toyota Prius V 2012-2017 Pillar Post Trim: Four Polished Stainless Covers (PP12700)
PP12700 is listed for the Toyota Prius V, model years 2012 to 2017, tagged 4-door hatchback. It's a four-piece pillar post set in polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. This row names the Prius V specifically, so check that's what you drive.
The six-piece alternative is PP12701, with the same row. Neither listing says which pillars are covered or carries a note, so the photos make the comparison. Look at both, look at your car's side glass, and choose. Four covers suit you if they match the uprights you care about; six if its photos show one more you'd want. One set is the sensible order, since the data doesn't say whether they overlap.
Planning the rest of the car? The same sheet lists a good spread of Prius V trim:
- TH12700: a 4-piece lower rocker kit, on the doors only, spanning from the bottom of the door up to a width given as 3.250-4.0625. A range rather than one figure, so check its photos.
- RD12700: a 1-piece rear deck accent, listed at 1.5. The Prius V is tagged hatchback, so the accent goes at the back of the hatchback; see its photos.
- LB12700: a 2-piece above-plate license bar accent trim.
- LP12700: a 1-piece license plate bezel. RB12700: a 1-piece rear bumper trim accent. GC12700: a 1-piece gas door cover trim.
- By number only: TH12701, WP12700, WS12700, WQ12700 and SG12700.

Attachment. On the Prius V, the four covers mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape straight over the existing post surface. No drilling, and nothing comes off.
Prep. Shampoo, rinse and dry the pillars. Follow with isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth and let it flash off. Remove wax or coatings where the tape will sit.
Trial fit. Try each cover in place with the liner on. Both long edges should trace the pillar; if not, try another one. When it's right, painter's tape at each end, location pencilled on the liner.
Fix down. Peel, set between the marks, and press hard end to end, then trace the edges. Compare sides from a few paces back. The Installation tab gives the temperature window and cure time.
Shade. Reflections off glass and polished steel hide small misalignments; work out of direct sun.
Care. A soft cloth and mild soap clean these.
Look on the Fitment and Specs tabs for the listing data.
Kit list. Bucket, car shampoo, sponge, fresh microfibre towels, isopropyl alcohol, a lint-free cloth, painter's tape, a pencil and the product photos on your phone. A step stool for the upper ends, and a helper to stand back and say whether each cover sits level, make the job easier.
If a cover won't sit. Don't peel it. Check the photos and the other pillars, then photograph it held in place and call us.
Fit the first two, then use them as your guide for the rest.

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.
