Dashboard protection.

Hi! All, can anyone tell me where to source a dashboard cover for my 2002 Estima?

The Tarago one is different, according to my helpful friend at Auto Barn.

If all else fails, I shall be forced to make one out of carpet and double-sided tape, bearing in mind the presence of the airbag.

Nothing is impossible!

Cheers, Davo.

Googled photos of the Tarago, Estima & Previa (UK) dashboards and they are the same. Only difference on all cars would be the controls for the (Manual Knob-type or Push-button Climate Control.) A/C, both of which have the same basic shape & doesn't affect the areas covered by a dash mat.

Here's one on ebay from an Aussie seller, note that it covers the storage box in front of the driver's side.

Hi ! Alister.

Thank you for your diligence.

I looked at the photo of the Aussie one and it appeared that the breakout slot for the passenger side airbag was covered by the mat.

I shall attempt to find some pictures of the Previa/Estima ones in UK and maybe order one from there.

As an aside; I was advised, yesterday, that Armorall (?) is not the first choice for modern plastic dashboards,

It is a sad day when you don't learn something new?

Davo.
