[attachmentid=8991]Hello PriusChat Members:

I wanted to share my experience with you on a great new product I found available. This item is very inexpensive but well worth the price. This is a great addition for the Prius.

On E-bay, link: http://stores.ebaycom/PadsPlus?refid=store, they offer some very cool space-age non-slip pads for the interior bin areas of the Prius such as the cup holders, glove box, side doors and center console area. On this E-Bay store, do a search for Prius and the options for this kit will pop-up.

I had issues with soda cans and other small items moving and rattling around these bin areas. That is no longer with these non-slip pads. These pads “grip” whatever is on them and prevent them from moving!

I highly recommend them and suggest every Prius owner should have these. Installation takes 1 minute and is super easy. They are form-fitted and pop right in without any hassle.

PS – I also installed the fog-light protection kit available from this vendor and they fit great as well. 2 minutes to install, and it could prevent a rock chip that could cost you over $200 for new fog lamps! Well worth it.

Thank you.

interesting... the cupholder ones look good but may be a hassle to clean if you spill something on it. Hopefully they're easy to remove too.

Nice idea, but you could save most of the cost with DIY cutouts from non-slip shelf liner material. Not quite as pretty, but no one except you will see most of them anyway.

I saw that product on eBay a while back but didn't know how well it'd work, so I didn't get it. Thanks for sharing.

To eliminate the annoying clanging, I bought some arts & craft leather ($3) and trim them a bit to fit the bottom of my cup holders. And then taped some felt pad (velcro type) to the innards. Problem solved.

But I still may get the product recommended here, since it has a piece for every compartment in the car.

I just bought these on eBay and love them. They fit perfectly and should have been included as a standard feature of the Prius. Highly recommended.

How does it work in the frontmost cupholder, the one that folds down?
When you fold the holder up and in, does the pad get bent?

These are great! I ordered early Saturday morning and had them with the mail run on monday around noon. That is great service. Wilson does a great job, I also ordered them for my Honda Ridgeline and they fit very well also.

I just bought a set of these off ebay
prior to this thread coming out---
glad to see the majority of people like them.

I also thought of making my own, but by the
time i acquired the right material, made patterns, etc
i thought they were well worth the price---

great minds roll in the same mud eh?
