Say what??? There is a kleenex drawer in my car? Now, mind you...I have only had my car for 4 days now. I got a 2007 Prius. Boy I sure do love it! Let us know where exactly this secret drawer is please!!! :lol:
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(justincase111 @ Oct 23 2006, 02:55 PM) [snapback]336949[/snapback]</div> We all feel that way when we find out it is there for the first time. It is in the front of your drink holder console low to the ground.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Cheap! @ Oct 23 2006, 04:05 PM) [snapback]336956[/snapback]</div> Actually, I never thought of it as a Kleenex drawer -- not sure it would hold any of the standard Kleenex boxes. It is the perfect size and shape for folded maps though.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Cheap! @ Oct 23 2006, 04:05 PM) [snapback]336956[/snapback]</div> Shoot, how is it supposed to be secret if you go and tell everybody?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(PA @ Oct 23 2006, 05:52 PM) [snapback]337053[/snapback]</div> Hey, It is not like I told anyone about the location of the other secret drawer.
Okay, I just went out to the garage, lifted out that nice Prius carpet piece, and actually did as suggested. Thanks! I've had my 2004 for 2 1/2 years and never knew that I could do that. Now I'll keep it that way. Makes it nice and spaceous. Your photo shows the net across the back with the liftgate open. I can't find any place to hook mine at the top (there are 2 D rings at the bottom, one on each side but none above them). Did later models provide this capability?
The best part about the hidden cargo area and the folding floor, I can hide sweaty clothes and gear from the skate park and by folding the floor back down, my car doesn't smell like a men's locker room. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(PriusRos @ Oct 23 2006, 05:03 PM) [snapback]336998[/snapback]</div> haha my boyfriend figured out that it will hold an entire carton of cigarettes. I guess we all find different purposes for the secret compartments. I keep a little pack of kleenex on the upper tray in the center console.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Ken Cooper @ Oct 24 2006, 12:56 AM) [snapback]337197[/snapback]</div> Mine came with the net and the d rings already installed...I have four d rings. 2006 package 7 pruchased 7/06
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Ken Cooper @ Oct 23 2006, 11:56 PM) [snapback]337197[/snapback]</div> There are two different types of cargo nets for the trunk - one straps over the floor, designed to hold things down (like groceries). The D rings for that one are already in the floor. The other sites across the door like you saw in the picture. When you buy that one, you're supposed to get two more D rings taht you have to mount yourself.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(PA @ Oct 15 2006, 06:51 PM) [snapback]333128[/snapback]</div> What I usually do when I want to keep the cover open but out of the way is simply fold the "rounded" edge back and tuck it between the silver "tonneau cover winder" (for lack of better description) and the back of the rear seat. Hides nicely and doesn't block the rear vision. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(PriusRos @ Oct 23 2006, 05:03 PM) [snapback]336998[/snapback]</div> Hmmm... me neither. I usually keep a small emergency kit in there, but always keep a full-size Kleenex in the back seat, which is always moving around. I will investigate using this nifty drawer as a tissue tray instead! <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Renocat @ Oct 24 2006, 11:48 AM) [snapback]337351[/snapback]</div> Mine had the cargo net & rings pre-installed as well, though I believe that is a standard accessory on all Prii in Canada. Could be mistaken, though...?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Sarge @ Oct 24 2006, 12:58 PM) [snapback]337388[/snapback]</div> As someone else mentioned, the four rings are standard in the U.S. (and I assume elsewhere). The cargo net is extra. The dealers have to make a profit somewhere, after all you're only giving them full MSRP on the vehicle. (If you got one for less don't tell me!)
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(PriusRos @ Oct 23 2006, 02:03 PM) [snapback]336998[/snapback]</div> But look carefully and you'll find Kleenex boxes that'll fit!
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Ken Cooper @ Oct 23 2006, 11:56 PM) [snapback]337197[/snapback]</div> My car came that way too. I talked with my sales person and I told them I never was offered a net when I purchased my Prius, and I wanted to know if I purchase one and have my first oil change it they would install the two "D" rings for free. They went for it so I spent my money with them. The net comes with the rings in the package and a template so you can locate exactly where to drill the holes. It looked like an easy install just two holes to drill. That is probably why it they did it for free. I got it back in two min.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Tideland Prius @ Oct 24 2006, 08:58 PM) [snapback]337812[/snapback]</div> I throw my loose change in there. When I take my Granddaughter thru Starbucks drive-thru, she knows she can use whatever she finds in there for her beverage. Grammy's are like that........
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Tideland Prius @ Oct 23 2006, 10:36 PM) [snapback]337202[/snapback]</div> I discovered that. Bought one online, figuring I'd just "put it in." First instructions: Purchase x-size drill bit. Tape on template, Drill holes. I, who have never used hubby's drill, did just that. Drilled those holes and snapped in the rings and they were too loose!! I went into semi-panic state, until I went back to directions which said to put them IN while the buttons behind the rings were open. Then shut them. That tightened everything right up and I now have a wonderful cargo net. If I can do it, anyone can do it!!
