Product Description
Toyota Prius V 2012-2017 Stainless Wheel Well Accent Trim WQ12700, 4 Pieces, 0.875" Wide
For the 2012-2017 Toyota Prius V 4-door hatchback, WQ12700 is a four-piece Wheel Well Accent Trim in polished stainless steel, 0.875" wide. The listing says "With 3M adhesive installation and black rubber gasket edging".
Prius V only
The fitment names the Prius V. Other Prius models aren't in this fitment line. If the badge on your car doesn't say "V", this isn't your set; call 877-752-3811 to check.
Four arches, 0.875"
Each piece is 0.875" wide and finished with black rubber gasket edging where it meets the wheel opening. The record doesn't say which piece fits which corner; the photos show them in place.
Material
High-quality polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, held over the existing surface by 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
Preparation
Clean each wheel opening thoroughly and let it dry. Wherever the trim will sit, remove any old adhesive, wax or loose paint. Wipe each strip with a wax-and-grease remover, then isopropyl alcohol, right before its piece goes on.
Fitting
- Match each piece to a corner from the photos; note it on the liner.
- Hold it on, liner attached, with painter's tape at the ends.
- Check that the Prius V gasket follows each opening evenly.
- Peel the liner an inch at a time, pressing the piece and gasket around the curve.
- Check each opening against the photos.
The Prius V group
This group has the full set of window parts: WP12700, a twenty-two-piece FULL window package; pillar sets PP12700 (4) and PP12701 (6); and an eight-piece window sill set at 0.625". On the body there's a four-piece lower rocker kit at 3.250-4.0625" on the doors only, a two-piece On the rocker strip at 1.25", a gas door cover, a two-piece license bar above-plate accent, a rear bumper accent, a license plate bezel, a rear deck accent at 1.5" and a front grille accent.
Care
A day without washing, then mild soap and a soft cloth, keeping a pressure washer away from the gasket. Questions about fit go to 877-752-3811.
Matching widths
This set is 0.875" wide. The lower rocker kit for the Prius V is listed at 3.250-4.0625", much wider, and the rocker strip at 1.25". If you're fitting both rocker trim and arch trim, look at the photos of each to see how the different widths will look together on your car.
Order of work
Fit any rocker trim before the arches, so you can check how the stainless meets near the front and rear of each door. The window package and sill set are separate jobs higher on the car.
On arrival
Count the four pieces against the photos as soon as the box is open, and keep each in its liner until it's ready to go on. A dry, mild day suits the tape, and the pieces should stay in the shade until they're fitted. If anything is missing, call 877-752-3811 before you start.

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.
