One rocker kit, many linked parts
This is the only rocker kit linked to this Prius, but the listing links a full set of other trim: pillar post kits PP24135 (four pieces) and PP24136 (six pieces), window packages WP24135 (14 pieces, the full package) and WP24136 (four pieces, upper trim only), WS24135 window sills, WQ24135 wheel well accents, GC24135 gas door cover trim, RD24135 rear deck accent and LP24135 license plate bezel. Check each listing for its finish.
About the crease
The record says "With trim crease" without describing it. Compare the photos with your Prius's rockers before ordering.
Years
Toyota Prius, 4-door hatchback, 2004 through 2009.
Two pieces
The listing doesn't explain the layout of the two pieces. The photos show it; call 877-752-3811 if it's not clear.
Material
The two creased 1.25" Prius strips go below the doors; QAA forms them in the USA out of polished 26 gauge 304 stainless and secures them with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the 2004-2009 hatchback.
Quick size test
Run a strip of painter's tape one and a quarter inches tall along the rocker below the doors. That's roughly how the steel will look. If the tape crosses dents or deep chips, fix those first.
Prep
Wash, dry and wipe the rocker with isopropyl alcohol. Work the cloth into the lower edge, where grit collects.
Install
Use your painter's tape strip as the guide line. Lay each piece in place with its liner on, check it from a few steps away, then peel and press a little at a time.
Placing the strips
Measure the finished strip's start and end points from the wheel openings, then use those numbers for the second.
What you'll need
The Prius job needs no hardware, just car soap, lint-free cloths, isopropyl alcohol, a tape measure and painter's tape.
Ordering a set
If you plan to buy several of the linked Prius parts, order them together and install them in one session, so the prep work is done only once.
Afterward
Give it about a day before washing, rinse salt off the rockers through winter, and use only non-abrasive polish.
Long pieces, careful start
With only two pieces, each one covers a long stretch. Start at one end, press the first few inches, then check the line again before continuing. A helper holding the loose end keeps it off the paint until you're ready.
Before ordering
Confirm your Prius is the 4-door hatchback in the 2004-2009 range. If you call 877-752-3811, a measurement of the rocker's flat area under each door helps confirm the fit, along with a note of any body repair in that area.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, On the rocker
- Unpack all 2 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.
