05 prius dash display warping

That was my post:

As you can see, mine was not merely an annoyance or temporary problem. I hope, and it sounds like, yours is. Regardless, even a hint of transient warping may be a sign of a trouble. I would watch it closely.

Maybe there is a fundamental design flaw here, rather than simply a defective part in my car. Or maybe a bad batch of this part in some of the 2005s. As I said in my previous post, the technician had not heard of the problem before, but there's a first time for everything.

As a follow up to that thread, the Canvas Works sunshade I ordered is working fine. (We've had several days with temps in the 90s.) Since it's a custom-fit shade, the bottom fits flush against the inside bottom of the windshield. So the instrument cluster is now inside the shade rather than outside. I figure it stays cooler than with no shade, whereas with the other shade it likely got hotter.
