    hello all
    just notices my right ( passanger) side dashboard has a bubbe on it, touched it , it feels like cotton though picture doesnt really show, i think it will start cracking soon. my driving is mainly in los angeles and vegas, where temps can easily reach 110-120 degs in a month from now, i was looking at the accesories forum for a good dash mat, could not find anything,
    any recomendation or link?

    yes windshield too, wanted to replace it about 6 months ago but i read too many posts here saying it happened again at the same spot , so just waiting on it,
    i wonder if that part of the dash is covered under any portion of warranty? car went on the road on 04/16. not 50 months yet

    Sorry, not much help. But yeah, show to dealership (when the restrictions relax), maybe they have some service bulletin. Good to have a thread on it, maybe others will chime in.

    I just Googled, Automotive Dash Mats, and at least 3 companies came up that sell Dash Mats. Just for kicks, I tried Covercraft, posing as a 2016 Prius II, and it appeared they do make an option. I didn't push all the way to check out, because I didn't want to buy it.

    just looked at it and others, results of 2016 prius shows a different type, others say speakers are covered, maybe i should ignore that, cause also says custommade according to your model

    Just looked at the WellVisors web site. They have:
    DASH MAT FOR TOYOTA 2017-2020 PRIUS PRIME 2016-2020 PRUIS COLOR BLACK
    $49.99. Unfortunately, they currently show out-of-stock.
