    Wind blows a lot here.... For days at a time.
    Didn't see any intake problems, filter looks good.. I just blow it out with compressed air careful not to tear it.

    Sorry for highjacking... :(

    Sorry I'm late to the game I just bought a used 14 Prius. I can't believe in all these years Toyota couldn't fix these simple problems. I really have no clue where to put my Oakleys. Has anybody found a workaround?

    Those are sunglasses? Look up, around the rear view mirror, there's a little compartment: push the lid to open.

    Note that this varies with trim and equipment, with several possible arrangements for the lights/controls/accessories attached to the ceiling. My 2010-II had the sunglasses holder there (with a warning to not put glasses there due to excessive solar heat :) ). My 2012-Three with sunroof does not. And IIRC, I've seen illustrations of yet another arrangement for that stuff.

    Yes, Oakley sunglasses. They fit fine in my 2007 Prius holder, but not in my 2014 Prius. I try every possible angle but the lid just won't close. I don't want to leave them in plain view and don't if I put them in the center console they might get scratched with other stuff in there. I guess I can put them in a case but it's annoying that I can't use the sunglass holder.

    I hate that:
    I can't read the dashboard with sunglasses on.
    that I can't push back the top of the console when I have stuff in the back seat.
