    It appears like there's going to be a new door sill protector from Toyota soon. They are purely functional as they're only textured black plastic/rubber. They're not up on the autoparts.toyota.com websites yet, so I don't know the pricing. The part number is PT929-47250-02. I'll attach the installation instructions from TIS so you can sorta see what they will look like.

    Good to see. Comparable hatch threshold protection would be welcomed as well I’d wager.

    Nice, I like these better than the superficial metal ones that barely cover anything.

    I found these last year and have been happy with both the protection (fronts are longer, backs shorter), and the ease of installation.

    Those are what I put in my white Prius, too....looks good.

    After i got my wife her 2017 Prius, I found some from Toyota that are lit and the car was already wired for them...made installation very easy and they are sharp but I think Toyota got rid of them...don't see them anywhere now.

    Part number PT942-47160, which was superseded by PT942-47161. You can still get them for a gen4($250), but I'd be nervous trying to install them on a gen5. The door sill is likely shaped different, the wiring is different, and they wouldn't particularly look good with the completely different font for the Prius logo.

    I also don't care for those other protectors as the faux carbon fiber look is just not my thing. Heck, it's one of the little reasons I converted my blue LED and gray trim garnish over for the red LED and copper trim garnish; I just didn't like that pattern in the gray trim in the HEV.



    General FYI, the new protectors from my original post are still not in the ordering system.

    I completely understand the faux CF thing. I wanted something thick and protective as opposed to the look and these punched both of those. It didn't hurt that the Toyota branding looked almost OEM. Unfortunately the ones I got are nowhere to be found on Amazon now.

    Interesting...I'll have to pull off the plastic guard and see if my 2021 is, also, pre-wired for those lighted doorsills. (If so, will search on Amayama for a discount price.)

    Update: They're still not easily available through the various autoparts.toyota.com stores, but they can be ordered through dealerships. MSRP is a little under $60.

    Interesting: our 2010 Prius, Canadian Touring level, has cutouts for locator/locking tabs on the sill protectors that came with ours. In other words, they wouldn't look complete without the sills. I believe there were levels without the sill protectors, for that country/gen, so maybe two body styles? Not sure. I was washing the car the other day, noticed a little rust bubbling, should have got on it sooner. Dremelled it clean and applied touch-up paint. Anyway:

    Do they make illuminated door sill protectors for this generation Prius?

    No. At least not OEM. Maybe a 3rd party does, but I don't know about that.

    Door sill protection should be standard, not an accessory. :cautious: And it doesn't need to light up, have flashy chrome or Prius badge, just simply/effectively protect.

    I'll go back under my bridge now...

    The instructions in my first post have reasonably good pictures.

    Thanks. I somehow overlooked the photos. That’s exactly what I’m looking for.
