    I am trying to figure out how our cargo cover fits into the storage tray. I have a slot on the right side to fit one end but I see no slot on the other side of the tray. Am I missing a piece?

    I had the same first reaction, but if you play with you'll see it does drop into place.

    There's an illustration on page 388 in the manual. I tried to copy the picture but couldn't do it.

    Lift up the small triangular deck piece on left-hand/driver's side and you will see the left "missing" bracket. :rockon:

    Yes, that little storage cover on the left has to come out, and then you have to lift out the crank for the jack. It's stuck in there quite well, so you may have to pull fairly hard to get it out. The storage cover will drop in to the slot, and then you can replace the tool and the triangular 'floor' piece over top.

    I see the slot on the far left side of the storage box. It fits like a Toyota glove. I have decided to store there for awhile out of the way. Did we get a small tool kit down where the spare tire is stored? I don't recall seeing one.

    The only onboard tools, at least on the gen2 I'm familiar with, are for changing a tire, and they fit into spaces moulded into the plastic tray. There's no felt pouch with screwdrivers and wrenches.

    In the 2010 Prius, the crank for the jack is stored under the auxiliary tool box, so you don't have to remove it when storing the cargo area cover.
