Product Description
Toyota Prius C 2012-2019 Lower Door Trim, 1.5" Wide, 4 Pieces (TH12705)
TH12705 is a four-piece polished stainless steel Lower Kit for the Toyota Prius C hatchback, listed for 2012 through 2019. Each piece is 1.5" wide, and the note says "On the doors only, spans from the bottom of the door UP to the specified width." In plain terms, it lines the bottom inch and a half of every door.
A note on the years
This kit's fitment runs 2012 through 2019. QAA also catalogs a Prius C rocker strip, TH12706, whose fitment stops at 2017, and the two listings aren't linked to each other. If you own a 2018 or 2019 Prius C and want both, call 877-752-3811 to confirm what's available for your year.
Model check
Prius C is its own fitment. Other Prius models have their own QAA rocker kits, so make sure your car carries the C badge.
Specifications
- A four-piece Lower Kit
- 1.5" width, on the doors only
- Prius C steel: polished, high-quality 304, 26 gauge
- Prius C trim made in America
- Four pieces fixed with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape
How it holds
The tape goes directly over the existing surface. QAA states it will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
Before peeling anything
Hold a ruler at the bottom of each door and look an inch and a half up. That's the area the kit covers. Clean that band and a bit above it: wash, rinse, dry, then wipe with isopropyl alcohol. Paint chips along the door bottom should be touched up and allowed to cure.
Matching pieces to doors
Four pieces, four doors, but the listing doesn't label them. Compare lengths and shapes against each door and mark them with painter's tape. Front and rear pieces should line up across the door gap.
Applying
Set each piece's lower edge against the bottom of its door with the liner on. Gently close the door to check the ends. Then peel the liner a few inches at a time and press firmly along the full length, covering the whole width of the strip.
Weather
Pick a warm day without rain, and leave the car unwashed for about a day. If it's cool out, a garage gives the tape a better start than a cold driveway.
What you'll need
Soapy water, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, a small ruler and painter's tape. No clips. A helper is handy for looking down the side of the car while you hold a piece, but one person can do it.
Linked Prius C trim
Five pillar kits: PP12705, PP12706, PP12707, PP12708 and PP12709, ranging from four to twelve pieces. Also WS12705 sills, RD12705 deck accent, RB12705 bumper accent, LB12705 license bar, LP12705 plate bezel and GC12705 gas door cover. Check each listing for its finish.
Care
Mild soap, a soft cloth, and a rinse after salty roads keep the strips bright. A non-abrasive polish handles water spots, and it's the only polish polished stainless needs.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Lower Kit
- Unpack all 4 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.
