    Hello my Prius C Bros, I bought window visors from eBay and they do not fit. Unfortunately I was moving from Las Vegas to Wiscansin so it has been almost 55 days since I purchase them outside the window of 14 day seller refund. These visors do not stick fully onto the frame of the door no matter which way I adjust them to sit higher or lower on the frame it doesn't sit flush. So this is a general question you may please provide experience and wisdom.

    For any item that doesn't fit your car, what can you do if you are outside the eBay refund timeframe?

    Also, are the door frames the exact same measurements and dimensions for Prius C models from year 2012 to 2015? I suspect the visors I got may be intended for a different vehicle model year.

    Thank you my Prius C Bros!

    Why are you still writing "Wiscanson?" No advice for you, I'd chuck them in the garbage. They lower your fuel economy.

    Ebay returns? That's where the phrase Lmao started. You are at the mercy of the vendor.

    If you paid using a credit card on PayPal, then you might be able to file a claim through PayPal. Worth a try.

    I wouldn't worry about any drop in mpg, we are getting good fuel economy with our window visors on both cars. Fuelly info in signature below.

    We don't have a c, so it doesn't really matter what we have. ;)

    They affect aerodynamics like mud guards. It's a small amount and I'm mentioning it because you were speaking of driving slower and driving at night to save AC to to get to Wisconsin. Here's something that costs money and lowers fuel economy.

    Well, if you paid with paypal like most people do, then you're approaching their 60 day buyer protection. Regardless of what the vendor's return policy, if it's a faulty item, paypal will back you up. You have to show proof to paypal and the vendor that it doesn't fit. Do it quick.
