Product Description
Toyota Prius C 2012-2017 Stainless Wheel Well Accent Trim WQ12705, 4 Pieces, 0.875" Wide
WQ12705 is the four-piece Wheel Well Accent Trim for the 2012-2017 Toyota Prius C 4-door hatchback, in polished stainless steel at 0.875" wide. The listing describes it as "With 3M adhesive installation and black rubber gasket edging".
Prius C, specifically
The fitment is the Prius C for 2012-2017. Other Prius models aren't in this fitment line, so check your badge before ordering. If it isn't a C, call 877-752-3811.
A short parts list
Only two other parts are linked for the Prius C: a two-piece On the rocker strip at 1.25" that installs below the door, and a three-piece front grille accent. No window, pillar or sill trim is listed for this car.
The pieces
Four, each 0.875" wide, each edged with black rubber gasket on the side that meets the wheel opening. The record doesn't map them to corners; the photos do.
Material
Toyota's 2012-2017 Prius C takes four 0.875" arch strips that QAA cuts in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless, secured over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, that tape will hold for a lifetime and won't mark the hatchback.
Getting ready
Wash each wheel opening, dry it completely, and clear any old adhesive, wax or flaking paint from the band where the trim will go. Just before each piece, give its strip a wax-and-grease remover wipe and then isopropyl alcohol.
On the car
Pencil each piece's corner on its liner using the photos. Offer the piece up with the liner still attached and painter's tape at both ends, and sight along the gasket to check it follows the opening. When it does, peel the first inch, press the end down, and work around the curve, pressing the gasket into line as you go. Do the next opening and compare.
Rocker strip first?
If you're fitting the rocker strip too, put it on before the arches, so you can see how the stainless lines meet near the openings.
Care
Let the tape settle for a day before washing. Then mild soap and a soft cloth; no pressure washer on the gasket. Call 877-752-3811 if a piece won't follow its opening as the photos show.
Widths
The arch trim is 0.875" wide and the rocker strip is 1.25". Compare their photos if you're planning to fit both, so you know how the two bands will look side by side.
On arrival
Count the four pieces and match each to a corner with the photos before you clean the car. Keep the liners on until each piece is ready. Choose a dry, mild day, and keep the stainless in the shade until it goes on. If a piece is missing or doesn't look like the photos, call 877-752-3811 before starting.

Installation tips: Wheel Well Accent Trim
- 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.
- Seat the black rubber gasket edging evenly along the wheel opening as you press the trim on.
- 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.
