Product Description
Toyota Prius C 2012-2019 Pillar Post Trim, 4-Piece Stainless Starter Set (PP12705)
The Toyota Prius C has the widest choice of pillar sets on this sheet: five of them, from four pieces up to twelve. PP12705 is the smallest. Its four covers are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, and its row lists the Prius C, 2012-2019, tagged 4-door hatchback.
The five-step ladder
- PP12705: four pieces (this set).
- PP12706: six pieces.
- PP12707: eight pieces.
- PP12708: ten pieces.
- PP12709: twelve pieces.
All five share the same row, and none of them has a note or names its pillars. So the step from one size to the next is only described by the count. The photos are how you see what's in each. Our suggestion: open the twelve-piece photos first to see the fullest version, then work down to the smallest set that still covers the pillars you actually want. If that's four, you've found it. The data doesn't say whether smaller sets are subsets of larger ones, so buy one.
Starting small
A four-piece set is the least sorting and the shortest install of the five. It suits you if the covers in its photos are the ones you'd notice most. If you later want more, call before ordering a second set, since the catalog doesn't confirm how the sets relate.

Attachment and prep
They mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape straight over the existing surface, with nothing drilled or removed. Shampoo, rinse and dry the pillars, then wipe with isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth and let it flash off. Take wax or ceramic coating off the tape areas.
Fitting
Try each cover in place with its liner on and compare with the photos. Both long edges should trace the pillar; try another post if not. Mark the ends with painter's tape and pencil the location on the liner. Peel, set between the marks, press hard end to end and trace the edges. Compare sides from a few paces back. The Installation tab gives the temperature window and cure time.
Care
Clean with mild soap and a soft cloth, and set abrasive pads aside.

Kit list and shade
Bucket, shampoo, sponge, microfibre towels, isopropyl alcohol, a lint-free cloth, painter's tape, a pencil and the photos on your phone. Work out of direct sun; reflections off glass and polished steel hide a crooked edge. If a cover won't sit, don't peel it, photograph it held in place and call us.

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.
