Does anyone have experience with the Escape Gear Dash Protector for the 200?

I am using their dash protector on my 2013 TLC and like it, its very well made. The two zippered pockets are a plus. Extra storage is always good. There are differences between the US / foreign 200s in regards dash sensors and speakers so Escape Gear needs to know the dash format of your 200 before ordering.

Sure thing, later this evening I’ll snap some pics. It attaches with 3m velcro. Sticky adhesive side goes to the dash and then the dash pad velcros to it. I only used about half the Velcro provided, didn't want velcro all over the dash and it’s still holding on well. Nice and secure.

Plenty of photos and feedback in this thread: Escape Gear Dash and Trans covers - pics/feedback? - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/escape-gear-dash-and-trans-covers-pics-feedback.1251149/
I’ve had one installed for about a year. I was never happy with the fit. Maybe Escape Gear doesn’t see too many uptrimmed 200s (Sahara or VXR in OCONUS markets?) so their template is off?.. Or maybe mine was made at 4:30pm on a Friday before a holiday weekend
One of the defroster vents is partially obscured and the right portion of the cover (where it should meet the windshield) is about 1” too short when compared to the left side. Also the female velcro strips are sewn in poor locations that do not correspond well to flat portions of the dash where one would want to affix the matching male velcro strips.
It’s funny you posted this thread. I just reached out to Equipt to see if I can return it for a replacement; the goal would be to send it with some photos — and maybe even chalk markings on the fabric — to help them improve their template. It’s a great product, but I feel like mine is about 85% where it should be in terms of fit; if that makes sense. I’ve wanted to do this for awhile, but work and family activities have consumed my schedule.
