Product Description
PP12706: Six-Piece Polished Stainless Pillar Covers for the Toyota Prius C, 2012-2019
PP12706 is the second rung of five Prius C pillar sets: six covers of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, for the Toyota Prius C from 2012 to 2019, tagged 4-door hatchback. Below it is the four-piece PP12705; above it come PP12707 (eight), PP12708 (ten) and PP12709 (twelve).
Pillars versus sills. The same sheet lists WS12705, a 4-piece window sill trim set for this Prius C. It's worth separating the two in your mind. Pillar post covers go on the upright pillars between and beside the side windows; a window sill set, by its name, goes along the sills beneath the glass. They're different parts with different numbers, and buying one doesn't replace the other. The catalog doesn't say whether any pillar set was designed with the sill set in mind, so if you want both, call and we'll talk it through.
Why six? Because the photos show six covers matching pillars you want done, and four would leave one out. The catalog doesn't describe coverage for any of the five sets, so the photos are the reference. Compare a couple of neighbouring sizes and choose the smallest that covers what you want. Buy one; the data doesn't say whether they overlap.
Also listed. TH12705, a 4-piece lower rocker kit on the doors only, spanning from the bottom of the door up to the listed 1.5. GC12705, a 1-piece gas door cover trim. LB12705, RD12705, LP12705 and RB12705 appear by number only.
Your car. This one is for the Toyota Prius C 4-door hatchback, model years 2012-2019. Questions: Quality Automotive Trims, 877-752-3811, quoting PP12706. For the Prius C, ring 877-752-3811 and give PP12706.
Attachment. 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape holds the covers on the existing pillar surface, with no holes and nothing removed.
Prep. Shampoo and rinse the pillars, dry them with a fresh towel, then a pass of isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth. Let it flash off. Strip wax and coatings from where the tape will sit.
Trial fit. Lay out the six covers as the photos show. Try each in place with its liner on. When both long edges trace the pillar, painter's tape at each end and the location pencilled on the liner. If one won't sit, try it on another post.
Fix down. Peel one liner at a time, set the cover between its marks and press hard from end to end, then trace the edges. Compare the six from a few paces back. The Installation tab lists the temperature window and cure time.
Shade and help. Work out of direct sun, and if someone can stand back and judge each cover, let them.
Care. For cleaning, a soft cloth with mild soap.
You can see the data on the Fitment and Specs tabs.
Kit list. Bucket, shampoo, sponge, fresh towels, isopropyl alcohol, a lint-free cloth, painter's tape, a pencil and the photos on your phone. If a cover won't sit. Don't peel it; photograph it held in place and call us before going further.

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.
