mtb9153 Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) Thought I'd share this with those out there who are still on the fence about whether to buy a CMax for fear it can't carry much. Yesterday the wife wanted a new screen door for the patio door. I went over to Home Depot and found one that suited our needs and her requirements. Thought to myself....hummm wonder if this will fit in the CMax? Got out in the parking lot and I'm happy to say it fit. Take a look at the attached picture. Had to put it all the way to the dashboard to close the tailgate, but it fit. Very nice cargo room in a sporty little efficient package. Enjoy the ride...

salsaguy Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 nice job mtb. risk taker for sure by buying before you know it would fit. what were you going to do if it didn't??luckily you didn't tear the headliner putting it in.hope this helps folks make up their minds about just how big it is inside.

mtb9153 Posted June 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 salsaguy, if it didn't fit I would have just walked home with it since I live 7 minutes away on foot. Then go back and get the Max. Thanks for asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salsaguy Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 that would have been a site for sure.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowStorm Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) Nice pics! Had to laugh at the sticker though - guess you didn't need the trim kit for "wider openings"! This thread could start a whole new series of pictures of wild and crazy loads in the C-Max. We've had a dryer in ours - fit great even on its side (less chance of snagging things). Doors too, but we let them stick out (short trip). Edited June 24, 2013 by SnowStorm Jus-A-CMax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jus-A-CMax Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Snowstorm....luv the idea but let's jus use this one. Ski and snowboards are nit exactly wikd so that rules me out for the time being. Doh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zalusky Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 I brought home 4 10 foot pipes from the Depot the other day as well. It was close though. I learned to make sure I have some padding material after that. I had to take my shirt off and stick it in front of the pipe which was a few inches from the windshield.

Always use care when running something up near the windshield. I was with my brother on a trip to the lumber yard in his Toyoda van. We loaded up the 2x4s and they ran up near the windshield. All looked fine, but it turned out they were about an inch too long for the available space. When he closed the hatch, it forced the lumber one inch forward and he ended up cracking the windshield from the inside. Ouch. Lesson learned. This happened a few years back, and I still think about it from time to time when loading stuff into cars and vans.

mtb9153 Posted June 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Geez that sounds like a mistake I would do. Like what I did to the rear spoiler (see my earlier thread) after installing my GasPods. :cry: :doh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
