Product Description
PP12701 Prius V Pillar Trim, Six Polished Stainless Pieces for the 2012-2017 Hatchback
Six covers for the pillars of a Toyota Prius V. PP12701's row lists the Prius V from 2012 to 2017, tagged 4-door hatchback, and the covers are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. It's the larger of two Prius V pillar sets; PP12700 has four pieces.
Why the bigger set
If the six-piece photos show a pillar the four-piece set leaves bare, and you want it covered, this is your set. The catalog can't tell you more than that: neither listing has notes or names its pillars. Look at both sets' photos alongside your car. Buy one set, not both; the data doesn't say whether they overlap.
Matching the car
The listing names the Prius V, not other Prius versions. Check that your car is a Prius V, that it's a 2012-2017 model year (your records), and that it's the 4-door hatchback. Phone Quality Automotive Trims on 877-752-3811 with PP12701 if anything is off.
The lower half of the car
For the same Prius V, the sheet lists TH12700, a 4-piece lower rocker kit that goes on the doors only, spanning from the bottom of the door up to a width given as the range 3.250-4.0625. A second rocker number, TH12701, appears without details. Also on the sheet: GC12700 (1-piece gas door cover trim), LB12700 (2-piece above-plate license bar accent trim), LP12700 (1-piece license plate bezel), RB12700 (1-piece rear bumper trim accent) and RD12700 (1-piece rear deck accent at 1.5 for the hatchback; its photos show the spot). WP12700, WS12700, WQ12700 and SG12700 are number-only.
Attachment
On the Prius V, each cover attaches with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing pillar surface; nothing is drilled or taken off the Toyota.
Two-pass prep
Wash and rinse, then dry with a fresh towel. Wipe with isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth and let it evaporate. Strip wax or ceramic coating from the tape areas.
Sorting six
Arrange the Prius V covers in the order the gallery shows. Try each in place with its liner on. When both edges trace the pillar, mark the ends with painter's tape and pencil the location on the liner. Try a different post if one won't sit. Try all six before peeling any.
Fixing down
Peel one liner at a time, set the cover between its marks and press firmly end to end, then along both edges. Fit three, then the rest, and compare. Follow the Installation tab's temperature window and cure time.
If stuck
Don't peel a cover you're unsure about. Photograph it held in place and call us.
Care
Mild soap on a soft cloth cleans them; steel wool should not touch them.
The data appears on both the Fitment and Specs tabs.
Kit list
Bucket, shampoo, sponge, microfibre towels, isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth, painter's tape, a pencil, a step stool and the photos on your phone. Work out of direct sun so reflections don't hide a crooked edge.
Use the first three covers as your spacing guide for the rest.

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.
