Does anyone make an extended cargo cover for Prius v (lowercase v for the Prius v wagon)?

    I would like to see the option for an extended cargo cover. The one we got with the car (and seemingly the only one available) doesn't cover anything that is on top of the folded down back seats. It would seem to me that they could make the other side retractable as well which would allow you to clip it to the front headrests.

    For years, when towing our cargo filled car (with window tint) behind our motorhome, we covered our stuff (often piled above the window level and secured with a cargo net) with a light-weight black fabric from Joann's. No longer RVing and now traveling in Prius v with rear door windows and back window tinting, we simply fold the seats down, arrange the stuff (sometimes use cargo net for long hauls), and cover stuff with the same 12 year old Joann fabric. It is cheap, folds up to store under the left side rear seat when not in use. With the tinted windows and black fabric, a person looking in your window needs a bright flashlight to even suspect you are carrying anything. Why wish for a light covered Toyota cover from front to back that CLEARLY suggests you are hiding something under the cover?

    +1 for the black fabric idea. We use the black side up of a black/yellow fleece Iowa Hawkeyes stadium blanket to cover stuff - can't see a thing from the outside through tinted windows. Plus the blanket kept us warm at the family fireworks display near Des Moines - multi-purpose!
