    I have a kayak and need to find the tie down point on this 2016 Prius C.
    Please post answers, insights, and photos to help me and many others so
    that we can carry our kayaks, canoes, bikes and such on our little hybrids.

    Many thanks!!

    Use the tow hooks on the underside of the car, but there's usually only one in the back. So you might be able to bolt something like this on the other side, under the bumper, on the undercarriage:

    Use soft tie down straps like these to protect your painted bumper covers and to spread the force of the tie down across as much surface area as possible vs a rope:
