Product Description
Six-Piece Pillar Post Trim for the 2016-2022 Toyota Prius (PP16136)
Six polished stainless covers for the pillars of a 2016-2022 Prius 4-door hatchback. That is the short version of PP16136. The longer version answers the questions people usually have when they're choosing between the five Prius pillar sets.
What is it made of? Each cover is 26 gauge 304 stainless steel with a polished finish, made in the USA. Stainless has no plating or clear coat to chip off, so the shine is the metal itself.
How does it go on? With 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface. You won't drill a hole or take a panel off. The Installation tab lists the temperature range and how long the bond needs to cure.
Why six and not four? The catalog gives the Prius sets in steps of two: PP16135 has 4 pieces, this set has 6, and PP16137, PP16138 and PP16139 have 8, 10 and 12. No listing in the family has a note or says which pillars it dresses. Count is the only stated difference, and the gallery is where you see what that means on the car. Pull up the photos of two or three sets together and look for outlines that show up in one and not the others. A single Prius set is what we'd suggest; ring 877-752-3811 before you combine two.
Will it fit my car? The single fitment row reads Toyota Prius 2016-2022, tagged 4-door and Hatchback. If you're unsure of your model year, your records will tell you. For any car outside that row, call 877-752-3811 with the SKU before ordering.
What else is made for this Prius? On the same sheet: AT16135, a four-piece body side molding accent; GC16135, a one-piece gas door cover trim; and WS16135, a four-piece window sill trim set. LP16135, WQ16135, RI16135 and RB16135 appear by number only, so read their own pages before planning around them.
How should I prep? Shampoo the pillar areas, rinse and towel dry. Go over each spot with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free rag and wait for it to evaporate. Anything slick, such as spray wax or a sealant, has to come off where the tape lands.
What's the best order of work? Match the six to the photos before any liner comes off. Offer each one up to its pillar, look along the edges, and mark its place with painter's tape. When the whole layout makes sense, peel and press one cover at a time, rubbing firmly from end to end and along both edges. A helper holding the next piece speeds things up.
What if something looks off? Stop with the liner still on. A cover that doesn't sit flat or doesn't seem to belong anywhere is worth a call to Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 before it's stuck down. Have PP16136 handy and the team can walk you through it.
How do I keep it looking good? Wash it along with the rest of the car using ordinary car soap and a soft mitt.

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.
