Product Description
2004-2009 Toyota Prius Hatchback Pillar Trim, Six Polished Pieces, PP24136
For the 2004-2009 Toyota Prius 4-door hatchback, PP24136 offers six polished stainless pillar covers at $67.99, made in the USA. The four-piece PP24135 is its linked alternative.
Is six right? Only the photos can say. Neither Prius pillar listing names its pillars or carries a width or note. Lay this gallery beside the four-piece one, spot the outlines that only show up here, and decide whether you'd like those areas in polished steel. If yes, this set. If not, the four. You'd fit just one of the Prius sets; call 877-752-3811 before combining.
Are there window packages to think about? Two, each with its own note. WP24135 is described as a full package including upper trim, pillar posts and window sills. WP24136 is described as upper trim only, with no pillar posts and no window sills. The listings don't explain how either one relates to this set, so look at their photos and pages before ordering. For a second opinion, call Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 with PP24136.
What else is linked? A gas door cover (GC24135), license plate bezel (LP24135), rear deck accent (RD24135) and rocker panel trim (TH24135), plus WQ24135 and WS24135 listed by number. Each is its own product with its own page, photos and fitment.
Does it fit my car? The row reads Toyota Prius, 2004-2009, 4-door, Hatchback. Six model years. For six covers, the Prius has to be a 2004-2009 model.
What does pillar trim do? It's cosmetic. The covers sit over the posts between the side windows and give them a bright steel face. Nothing structural changes, and the original trim stays beneath them.
Why stainless? 304 stainless resists corrosion and holds its polish without any coating. There's no coating to flake, and soap and water keep it clean.
How does it attach? With 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface. No drilling and nothing to remove. The Installation tab gives the tape's temperature range and cure time.
What should I check first? The finish on each post. The tape bonds to it, so a powdery haze, fine cracks or lifting edges need repair before fitting. A fingertip test helps: if it comes away dusty, keep cleaning.
How do I fit six? Pick a dry, calm day and some shade. Check all six covers against the photos and call if any are bent or missing. Wash, dry, and wipe the posts with isopropyl alcohol until a fresh lint-free cloth stays clean. Set the six Prius covers out beside the photos. Dry-fit each with its liner on and frame it with painter's tape. Fit two at a time, pressing firmly along the length and both edges. Look at the Prius from a few steps back after every second cover.
What if one won't sit flat? Don't peel anything yet; call 877-752-3811.
Any upkeep? Once the tape has cured, wash with car soap and dry with a soft towel.
How long? An unhurried session. Marking six positions takes the longest, and a helper makes the dry fit easier.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 6 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.
