Dash Mat by halwick

Anybody buy a dash mat for the front dashboard?
I live in hot, sunny California and wonder if it's worthwhile to get one to protect the pastic dashboard from cracking?
The dealer wants $47. How do the ones from Pep Boys or Autozone or Kragen Auto or mail order compare? Also, which material is better? Velor, Suede, Carpet?

The Venza, with its large, black dashboard and sloped windshield, definitely needs a dash mat. I use dash mats on all my cars and none need it as much as the Venza does.
 
I researched Venza dash mats pretty thoroughly and finally ordered them (one for my Venza and one for my Camry) from AutoAnything. My mats are perforated Oak made out of a synthetic suede. The suede is great because I wanted something that lies flat and fits the dash nicely. A carpet dash, for example, cannot do that -- too thick and stiff. Nothing looked as good as suede. Mine was $54.95 -- kind of steep, but worth it in my view in that it looks great and should last many years.
 
Here are the order details:
 
Dash Designs Suede Dashboard Cover
Color/Style Oak

Submodel Without raised speakers
Part # 2944-0DOK
AutoAnything SKU 3559596

Has anyone purchased a good car cover for a Venza?
 
So far, the only thing I've found online is a very light weight type that I've had bad experience with in the past.

Tow package shortage??? by trippingt

I ordered a new Venza Wednesday before Thanksgiving. The dealer called today and said it was ready. When I got there they said the tow package option that I order was not installed. Apparently there is a tow package shortage on the Venza that also is affecting the Forerunner. They said the parts shortage would not be resolved until January.
  
Does anyone have any info to substantiate the dealers claims?
  
Thanks,
Trippingt

"..I ordered.."
 
Your "order" was either sold to someone else before you arrived, that happens more often than you might want to believe, or the dealer is trying to close the sale "early" using a virtually equivalent "stock" vehicle.
 
A dealer even being willing to place a factory order is HIGHLY unusual, typically reserved for GOOD customers, repeat buyers of long standing.
 
Besides which the dealer would have been forewarned by the factory of the shortcoming.
