Product Description
Prius C 2012-2017 Rocker Strips Below the Door, 1.25", Pair (TH12706)
TH12706 is a two-piece rocker trim for the Toyota Prius C hatchback, model years 2012 through 2017. The strips are polished stainless steel, 1.25" wide, and the note reads "Installs below the door." That's the rocker panel under the door openings, not the doors themselves. The record says the two strips install below the door.
Six years listed
Fitment covers 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017. QAA's door-mounted Prius C lower kit, TH12705, lists a longer span of years, but this rocker strip stops at 2017. If your Prius C is newer than that, call 877-752-3811 before ordering instead of assuming it fits.
A short linked list
This record links only two other parts: WQ12705, a four-piece wheel well accent w0.875, and SG12705, a three-piece front grille accent. The door kit TH12705 isn't linked here, though it's for the same model. Check each listing for its finish.
What's in the box
Two strips. The listing doesn't state the layout of its two pieces, so call to confirm.
Made from
Both Prius C strips are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA.
Held by
The two Prius C strips attach over the existing surface below the doors with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, that tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the hatchback.
Look before ordering
The record gives no length. Use the photos to see the run, and check that your rocker has a smooth band at least 1.25" tall. Textured or damaged areas are worth a call.
Prep on a small car
The rocker on a small hatchback sits close to the ground and right in the path of tire spray. Wash with a soft brush and soapy water, rinse, and dry. Remove tar spots, wash again, and finish with isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free cloth.
Straight and even
Lay painter's tape as a guide at the height you want. Hold the strip against it, liner on, and sight from the front. When it looks right, peel at the front end and press toward the rear in short sections. Press the full length once more. Measure from a wheel opening and compare each strip's position with the photos.
Supplies
Soapy water, a soft brush, tar remover if needed, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a tape measure. Nothing has to be removed from the car.
Are the two the same?
Lay the two strips side by side when they arrive. The record doesn't say whether the two Prius C strips differ; compare them, and if they aren't identical, tag each with a bit of tape and check the photos for where it goes.
The first day
No washing for about a day; avoid deep puddles. Install in warm, dry conditions.
Care
Rinse the rockers after salty or muddy drives. Mild soap and a soft cloth; non-abrasive polish for spots. Skip scouring pads and rubbing compound, which can haze a polished finish.

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.
