    Why are the third gen more expensive it seems? Are there any better products out there while we’re at it? Back in the day I had a Volkswagen that had a removal cover that was hard shell. We put speakers in it! If anyone has a grey one for sale, I’d love to pick it up. Seems like there’s a brand on Amazon for 140ish.

    Two topic message if I can- how are you all accessing the site now days? Tapatalk doesn’t seem to work well, site on the iPhone isn’t the best experience. Thanks for any tips!

    Edit: disregard, Tapatalk works for me. For some reason I tried it after years of no Prius ownership and it does in fact work. Probably good without ads I bet! There’s an Android App though?

    I’m using Safari with an Ad Block, seems fine. The AB is almost necessity, to avoid confounding ads.

    The tow now cover is the pull out plastic vinyl shade that goes across the trunk? I bought one in mint condition on Facebook marketplace from a lady that sold the car and this stayed in her garage was a silver thing I want to say the pull out part is black or gray and I paid her $10 I actually gave her 20 and told her to keep it as a tip because she was short-changing herself so badly and she just smiled and said she knew but it needed to go look like the lady was making room and her garage for arts and crafts tables or something too funny. And then a week later I was gutting a 2008 model in perfect condition if it hadn't been missing two doors on the driver side out of bought the whole car had a new battery in it and everything HV battery and I got the tone out cover out of it for my generation two free

    That’s it! I’m looking for a similar deal. Someone who doesn’t need and is looking to get rid of it!
