ScubaDadMiami Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) Here is the version with the finished edge and Velcroed flap. It is from another vehicle, not the C-MAX, but it is a very good likeness. So far, I am strongly considering going with this version. I am going to make my decision by Monday. BTW, the Energi should not be a problem. Actually, they seem to already have the measurements done for the Energi. They sent me some pics of Energi cargo decks. So, it sounds like they are all set for both the Hybrid and Energi versions. :hi5: Edited June 22, 2013 by ScubaDadMiami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAL Cmax Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Scuba, what if you were to have them put extra material say an extra 2" sized square on top and stitch it around the finished edge. That way any water would shed onto to the mat not down into the tie-downs. So you would tuck in the flap, and have some loose material overlapping on top.

ScubaDadMiami Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 That would work for water, but it would probably create a problem for sliding things into the back. Everything has a plus and minus. :headscratch: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have a heavy rubber mat from Lowe's that I cut to fit. My work equipment would destroy the carpet after about three times loading it. I don't really need the water resistant part like you. fotomoto 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotomoto Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) I just have a heavy rubber mat from Lowe's that I cut to fit. My work equipment would destroy the carpet after about three times loading it. What section/aisle? I've been home renovating for a couple of years and sometimes think I live at Lowes but I haven't seen something like this. I like DIY; especially, if it's cheap! :) Edited June 23, 2013 by fotomoto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has the anti fatigue nubs underneath. I think it was about $20. It was near the carpeting/tile area. Same section as the puzzle piece floor mats. It extends about 3/4 of the back seat when they are down. Edited June 23, 2013 by KAL Cmax fotomoto 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaDadMiami Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 I just placed my order for the CanvasBack. I went with finished edges, no zipper, d-ring flaps, and covering the child seat anchors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaDadMiami Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 My CanvasBack was shipped today. Hope to have it by next week. I'll post pics of the installed cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaDadMiami Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 The CanvasBack arrived yesterday, but I couldn't pick it up until today. Set up took all of about two minutes. Sorry about the pics. I shot them in my building's parking garage. I will get around to better pictures soon. JAZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaDadMiami Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 The CanvasBack will stay permanently attached to the back of the seat, if you prefer it that way. With the CB in place, you can still open and close the back seat, yet it covers to the edge of the carpeting on the back of the seat. Complete coverage. Very pleased with the final result. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meck Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) Scuba, that is just what I am looking for. I would like to get the whole back covered along with the back of the rear seats. Is exactly what I'm looking for. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING PICTURES! Edited July 18, 2013 by Meck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-MaxSea Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 ScubaDad, any chance you could re-shoot that last photo, it is such a small file that the detail is lost. The canvas solution, hmmmm? Thanks, Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaDadMiami Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 I will. Sometimes, my smart phone switches formats, without me doing anything. That produces a poor result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScubaDadMiami Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Finally had a chance to take a better picture of the CanvasBack. I like this one, where you can see the light coming in from the Panoramic Roof. Notice how the CB covers the entire back of the seat while still allowing the seat to open and close normally. I just love this thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spyburn Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Hey ScubaDad.....I ordered mine about 10 days ago. They asked who referred me.....I wrote ScubaDadMiama from the C-max forum! Anyway, mine has shipped and arrived in San Antonio at 4:43 this morning....I'm only 30 miles from there, but it'll likely take another 2 days to reach me!

spyburn Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Tracking says the package was delivered today.....which in my case means it get to the PO today and they stuck a notice in my mailbox to pick it up. I should have it tomorrow!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyburn Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Package actually fit in my mailbox. I installed it tonight while dinner was burning! When I unfolded the canvas a little package with 2 dog biscuits fell out. How nice of them to provide treats for the canine monsters!! SDM, I have a question. When I ordered mine, I don't remember there being options other than color. Mine came with openings for the child seat anchors, but no flaps for the D Rings. Did I miss something or did they do something special for you since you were the first C-Maxer to order? I'm not complaining - I think the flaps might have been an issue for sliding things, but I was just wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meck Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Just received my CB this weekend. I will also post pictures. From the pics already posted, looks like a great product. This afternoon took it out of the package and it is very high quality material. I went with graphite (grey) color to match the grey/black leather. Also, the people at CanvasBack are great to work with. Pictures coming soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meck Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Put the canvasback this evening. Here are photos of seats down (cannot sit in them) and seats up (able to sit in them). When the seats are up, I don't like how the CB looks. I am going to contact them tomorrow to see what you are supposed to do with it when seats are in up position.

Lots of people don't like the d-rings sticking out. I remember discussing the child seat anchors, but I can't remember which way they come.

BTW, if you care about having the loose material sticking out from behind the seats when the seats are folded, just tuck-in the material behind the seat and under the flap that bridges from the cargo area to the seat back. (Look back at my pictures. You will see how it looks with the material folded.) It only takes a second. Just go to the side where you are closing the seat, and start tucking-in the material as you fold the seat up. (It won't work after the seat is already locked into position.) Later, when you fold the seat flat, the material goes right into place without you having to do anything more. CarpeNivem 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meck Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) Thanks Scuba. I contacted CB and they instructed the same exact thing. Yours looked really good on your photo and could not figure how you did it. I have attached photos w/ seat up to show how good it looks. This cover fits great. Extremely happy! Scuba thanks again for posting the info about CanvasBack! Great people & and a great product! Edited August 8, 2013 by Meck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
