    I have the 2013 Prius C (One). In this model, the front seat is all one piece, so the headrest is NOT adjustable at all. I'm 6'2", so I end up being all scrunched over when sitting in the car. The dealership gave me a little neck rest extension pillow thing-but that doesn't really help. I think I need to switch out the seat itself-does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks so much!

    Look for 2012 Prius Seat
    Then choose the 3rd or forth option, it says "model C, headrest adjustable"

    The seats go from 150 to 350. The junkyards are located all over the US, find one close and buy a replacement.

    There are airbags in them, so I'd disconnect the battery/consult the dealer before swapping so you don't get a surprise when you plug in the airbag harness!

    Oh also - verify (I don't know) if the 12 and 13 have a different seat color pattern, or maybe even the Prius C1, 2, 3 etc...
    Actually thinking about it, I think a guy had both front seats from a 2 on ebay...


    Yes - both front seats, $285 can't go wrong here!
    It may not matter, but just a heads up so you aren't surprised.

    Thanks Chris! Shipping is another $250 which bring the total up substantially. :( I was just trying to search ebay myself, but was coming up with mostly seat covers...Do you recall how you narrowed your search to just have the seats show?

    Thanks!
