Running into a lot of scratches on both of my screens. Has anybody ran into this and does anyone have a fix for it? Thanks in advance

Scratches on multi-informational screen

I installed the Screen Protech kit on all scratching surfaces. It’ll also cover up the current scratches as well. Watched videos (they insist before installation) as I have never done any kind of installation myself and it came out really good. I’m very pleased with the product and my installation result.

“Multi-informational”…are “we” trying out new nomenclature for the Toyota lineup? Every manufacturer calls it either a multimedia radio, headunit or infotainment (thanks CJD)…
to answer your inquiry: there are numerous companies that have screen protectors esp Gorilla Glass but it’s the dashboard that most people seem self conscious about since it can be noticeable during the day.
Novus Plastic Polish, Meguiar’s PlastX, or Mothers Plastic Polish
Use a plastic-safe sealant or protectant (like Plexus or Meguiar’s Interior Detailer) to reduce future scratches and UV haze.
• Harsh abrasives (toothpaste, rubbing compound) — these can dull or distort.
• Power buffers on thin clear plastic — heat/friction can melt it.
• Alcohol/ammonia cleaners — may cloud or crack over time.

Sorry about not stopping to look through my manual for the technically correct name for the display system. I figured everyone would gravitate to the meaning when I wrote this. Thank you for the advice.
Honestly,
Honestly, it kind of threw me since I work at the dealership… if you’re talking about the radio, that’s fixable but if you’re talking about the dash with the speedometer and tach, that’s not as easy since it’s smaller and tighter plus a lot of times, the local dealerships leave the plastic that came from the factory on it so the scratches may just be on that and not on the surface itself. So make sure you cheek for film before you start any surface scratch repair.

At least someone did their job. Speaking of which, have you noticed in your drivers side, whether driving or when you shut your doors on that side, it sounds like there is something loose behind the cab but near the gas tank? I don’t but im starting to hear a lot of owners mention it and I have a meeting with our service dept Monday about that and any other issues
