    I have the 2015 Prius C basic model and there are no options for a cover. Has anyone had this problem and if so, have you come up with any options? or any over the headrest models that fit? (there are no ridges in the sides to screw in or slide in...)

    I've tried getting the cargo cover from a higher model, but our One doesn't have the retaining clips and the proper molding. So I'm opting to jut tint the rear of the vehicle.

    I thought I would be able to do something more than that.. Not in the cards without spending lots of $$$

    that is the same problem I am having and I would ideally like something except just use a black blanket! I was wondering if there were models that attach to the back seat instead of the sides that would fit (like Scion TC, Rav 4 and matrix?)

    If you have the base version you cannot get a cover. I tried. The side panels do not have the notches to accomadate the cover. It is probably just another way for Toyota to try to get people to buy the "Two" trim level instead of the "One" trim level. However I have a cheap solution. I bought a black bath towel and cut four tiny slits along the long side of the towel. Two of the slits are along the middle of the side and about one inch from the edge of the black towel. These match up with the posts for the center headrest, and the posts from the center headrest are slid through the holes to hold the towel in place. Next spread out the towel and cut two more slots where the towel stretches to meet the folding seat releases on the left and right sides of the top of the back seat. Hang the towel on these knobs too. Now you have a flexible, black cover, and when anyone looks in the back window, all they see is black and the cargo area looks empty. Even if they look very closely all they see is a black towel. I have used the same black towel for three years now and although the sun is fading it, this trick still works. When it fades a little more, I will just flip the towel over to the other side of thetowel which is still very dark andunfaded. I hope you find this useful. Itworked very well for me.
