Product Description
Toyota Prius 2016-2022 Stainless Wheel Well Accent Trim WQ16135, 4 Pieces, 0.875" Wide
WQ16135 is a four-piece polished stainless steel Wheel Well Accent Trim for the 2016-2022 Toyota Prius 4-door hatchback. Each piece is 0.875" wide, and the listing describes them as "With 3M adhesive installation and black rubber gasket edging".
Fitment
The Prius hatchback, 2016-2022. The record names no other Prius body. If you are unsure, compare your arches with the photos or call 877-752-3811.
The four pieces
Four 0.875" stainless accents with black rubber gasket edging. Corners aren't labelled in the record; the photos show where each goes.
Material
Toyota's 2016-2022 Prius hatchback takes four 0.875" wheel arch strips of USA-made polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, held over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, that tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the car.
Cleaning the Prius arches
The adhesive needs to meet paint and nothing else. So: soap, water and a soft mitt around each opening; a towel; then time for any water hiding in the lip to evaporate. Go over the trim band with wax-and-grease remover on a folded microfibre, turning it to a clean face often. Keep a separate cloth for the isopropyl alcohol, and use it only in the minute before each piece goes on.
Fitting technique
One piece at a time. Hold it up with its backing still attached and fix both ends lightly with painter's tape. Look straight down the length of it: the gasket should hug the opening evenly. Make any adjustment now, while nothing is stuck. Then peel the first inch of liner at one end, set that end with firm pressure, and advance along the arch, peeling and pressing in short steps. Fit one more opening and compare it with the first and the photos.
The Prius group
A broad range of pillar sets is listed: PP16135 (4), PP16136 (6), PP16137 (8), PP16138 (10) and PP16139 (12). Also linked are a four-piece window sill set, a 1" body side molding accent, a gas door cover, a license plate bezel, a 1.75" two-piece roof insert and a rear bumper accent. No rocker kit is linked for this Prius.
Care
A day before the first wash; then mild soap and a soft cloth, with pressure-washer spray kept off the gasket. If a piece won't follow its opening as the photos show, phone 877-752-3811 before bonding.
Before ordering for a Prius
Check the model year against the 2016-2022 line, and confirm the car is the 4-door hatchback named in the fitment. If you also want window trim, the pillar sets for this Prius run from four pieces (PP16135) up to twelve (PP16139), and the record doesn't say which one matches a given trim level, so ask 877-752-3811 for that. On arrival, count the four 0.875" wheel well pieces and look over each gasket edge, keeping every liner in place until its piece has been held to its arch.

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.
