Why Does the Anti-Slip Pad Mark Disappear Automatically?
2 Answers
Anti-slip pad marks disappearing automatically is a normal phenomenon. Mark disappearance: If the anti-slip pad has been used for a long time without being moved, the dashboard underneath may develop a color difference compared to the surrounding area. However, this color difference will gradually fade over time. If it is a quality issue with the anti-slip pad, there may be adhesive residue, which will not disappear without cleaning. Function:
I always like to keep non-slip mats in my car, but if left under the sun for too long, they leave marks on the dashboard. However, after driving with the air conditioning on for less than half a day, the marks disappear on their own. I think this is because the mat material is soft, like silicone, and deforms under heat, leaving impressions. But once removed, its good elasticity allows it to bounce back immediately. Plus, the plastic surface of the dashboard is also soft and can recover, so the marks naturally fade over time. Once, during summer, I forgot to remove the mat after parking outdoors, leaving a big mark on the dashboard. I was anxious to wipe it off, but after a while with the air conditioning on, it vanished. This reminded me not to move the mat when it's scorching hot—wait until the temperature drops to remove it, which can reduce marks. Choosing highly elastic mats is important; they're affordable and durable. Regularly clean and maintain the car's interior, gently wiping surfaces with a damp cloth to prevent dirt buildup from affecting recovery. Overall, there's nothing to worry about—it's a normal physical reaction, and the interior isn't that fragile.
