The Surf Carpet Dash Mat is precision-moulded for the 3rd Gen Hilux Surf and 4Runner (185-series, KZN185 \/ VZN185 \/ RZN185 \/ KDN185, 1996-2002). The cutouts line up with the factory air vents and sensors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this dash mat fit LHD 4Runners?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis mat is moulded for RHD (right-hand drive) vehicles, which is what the Hilux Surf was sold as worldwide outside North America. The 3rd Gen 4Runner sold in the US is left-hand drive and has a mirrored dash — this mat will not fit LHD 4Runners correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this dash mat actually block UV rays?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The carpet construction blocks 100% of UV rays from reaching the underlying dash plastic — preventing the brittle cracking that gives old Surfs that \"death crack\" down the centre of the dash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWill the dash mat cover the air vents?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The mat is pre-cut with openings for all factory air vents, the defrost vents, the warning light sensors, and the airbag sensor.

Lay the mat on the dash, align the cutouts with the vents, and smooth it down. The carpet underside grips the dash plastic and the precise moulding keeps it in place. Install takes about 2 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Will this dash mat fit my 3rd Gen Hilux Surf or 4Runner?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Yes.
