    Just bought a 2010 Prius IV and noticed these two areas didn't come with a mat or some kind of material to cover the plastic to prevent items from sliding. As well, I don't like the bolt being visible. Where can I find an oem cover/tray/mat for these areas? Something made of thin rubber would be nice.

    Thank you

    I have the carmate also and it is nice. A couple of DIY options would be some felt or maybe a thin rubber pad (you can buy sheets at Hobby Lobby).

    Is that felt? What did you use to glue in place?

    It is felt. It comes in 8.5 x 11 sheets with adhesive on the back. I used paper to create templates and then cut the felt to fit. It is sold at many fabric and craft stores. Here is one I my area.

    As an FYI, I bought a similar pack on ebay, except it was only like $30 delivered for the pad set for my car, not the $100 that one was.
    It's basically made out of mouse pads. If you were to buy like 4 or 5 of those jumbo mouse pads for $5 each at a Fry or similar place you could cut your own pretty cheap. They seem to work really well though.

    Ok I went and looked up my history this is a similar listing to what I got, this one is for a Camry and it's $30, you could always contact the seller and see if he has one for a Prius again. I have done that in the past with sellers and they have turned around and relisted an item for me right away, just a thought.

    OT - Has anyone ever come up with a definitive answer to the purpose of the notch on the left side of the upper glove box?

    I received both these as private messages. The forums are meant to be forums for one person to post and many to read and learn. I am answering the questions here in the forum and not in a private message.

    I used standard 8.5x11” paper and a pencil to create the templates. You can jam a piece of paper in an area and draw a line, then cut that section out, then draw a new line and cut that section out, when done you will have a section of paper that fits perfect in the section you want to cover. Then you take that piece of paper and lay it on the felt. Then you cut a piece of felt from that template and stick the self adhesive felt to the section. Then find a new section and do the same thing until done.

    The felt I used was black. The flash does make it look gray. It looks the same as a Lexus glove box. The entire project took about 90 minutes. I now have 104,000 miles on the car and think that 90 minutes paid off.

    Very nice professional job! I hope it stops those rattles that seem to emanate from whatever I put in those silly boxes!
