Premium Dash Protector for Toyota Hilux (1997–2005) – With Passenger Airbag
Protect your dashboard and maintain your safety with this precision-moulded Dash Mat from the Dash Cover Company. Specifically engineered for the Toyota Hilux (1997–2005), this mat is designed for models equipped with a passenger-side airbag.
The late 90s and early 2000s Hilux models are legendary for their durability, but their dashboards are highly susceptible to UV damage and cracking. This tailored mat features a specialised design that enables proper deployment of the passenger airbag while providing full coverage against heat and "white-out" windscreen glare.
Key Features
- Airbag Compatible: Precision-engineered to ensure the passenger-side airbag deploys safely in an emergency.
- Gen 6 Specific Fit: Tailored to the exact contours of the 1997-2005 dashboard layout.
- RHD Precision: Designed exclusively for Australian Right-Hand Drive Hilux cabins.
- Heat & UV Defence: High-grade materials designed to block damaging rays and lower cabin temperatures.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does this dash mat safely accommodate the passenger-side SRS airbag?
This premium protector is manufactured with an integrated safety breakaway seam or deployment flap positioned directly over the factory passenger airbag module. If an emergency occurs and the module triggers, the expansion force splits the safety threads instantly, ensuring your vehicle's safety systems deploy without delay or dangerous restriction.
Will this mat fit a 1997–2005 Hilux that does not have a passenger airbag?
While the mat will physically lay across the dashboard layout, it features a distinct deployment seam outline on the passenger side. For a completely clean, uninterrupted look on commercial base models or early models that lack the passenger airbag module option entirely, we suggest selecting our non-airbag-specific alternative profile.
Does this mat suit all body and engine variants of the sixth-generation Hilux?
Yes. Regardless of whether your rig is an LN167, KZN165, or RZN169, and whether it is a Single Cab, Extra Cab, or Dual Cab layout, the dashboard dimensions, defrost vents, and boundary lines are identical across all upper trim lines equipped with dual front airbags from 1997 to early 2005.
Will the material ripple, shrink, or fade when exposed to extreme windscreen heat?
No. The Dash Cover Company fabricates these units using specialized pre-shrunk, heavily UV-stabilized textile weaves. This material is custom-engineered to survive direct exposure to punishing outback cabin temperatures, ensuring it will not warp, lift at the corners, ripple, or lose its color over time.
