    They won't stick on the non metal parts. I tried and they will fall off.

    Thanks!
    I'm thinking an eyebrow tint might be nice to add too.

    Is that the strip of tinting that goes across the very top of the front windshield? The other C in our family has that, and I have to admit that I don't care for it much. I like the concept but not the way it looks, at least not in the only example I've seen of it.

    Yea, the brow on a front windshield is usually maybe 6 to 8 inches thick. I'm not sure if I would like it or not. I wish I was good with photoshop that I could see what it might look like on my car.

    Here are some photos of the front windshield top-only tint from momma's C2.

    I also did some looking and checking as I drove today, and though I am a relatively tall person (5'10"), I drive with my seat positioned more like a short person (my chiropractor said this was best for me) and I don't see that I, personally, have a need for those added side window sunblockers.

    So did your opinion change or do you not car for the brow?
    If you find an opportunity could you post a wide pic of the whole car? I think it might look good on my car, it may look like it matched the wind visors I just added.

    The primary benefit other than cosmetic is that you can crack your window open whe it's raining. Personally,I just dig the look and enjoy the function once in awhile.

    It is a film you can get from Blinglights.com for ~$50.00, had them installed at the same place that tinted my windows. I have removed them though for liability reasons. They were very easy to remove and there was no damage to the lights.

    I have the same window visors as seen in that ebay link. I purchased them directly from HIC for less $$$ though. No issues at all and I really like them.

    WeatherTech is working on Prius C window guards "in-channel" type. They should be released within 4-5 months, per her email reply:​
    Thank you for your interest in MacNeil Automotive and our WeatherTech brand!



    Congratulations on your new Prius C! My engineers are still in the development and engineering stages for the Side Window Deflectors for the Prius C. According to the information provided, it looks like we still have 4-5 months before we see the product available for sale.

    I had emailed WeatherTech a long time ago about the window visors and at the time they had said 3-4 months... back when I had emailed them it should have been ready for summer 2013 - so don't hold your breath... I put a set (not in-channel) because I was tired of waiting and they work and look great. :) I bought mine from garm.
