Hey everyone! I finally took the plunge and picked up a brand new Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring last week. I am absolutely in love with the plug-in hybrid power and that buttery soft Sandstone leather, but now I am starting to get a bit paranoid about keeping the interior looking showroom-fresh. Since this is my primary daily driver for hauling the kids to school and my own commute, I want to invest in some quality gear right away.
I am specifically looking for recommendations on a few things. First, the center console has that beautiful piano black finish, but it is already a magnet for fingerprints and tiny scratches; has anyone found a good protective film or overlay that does not look cheap? Also, I have noticed the wireless charging pad is a bit slippery, so my phone slides off during turns. If you have found a slim mat or a better storage solution for that area, please let me know.
Here are a few other things I am considering:
What are the absolute must-have interior accessories you have added to your Aviator Grand Touring to keep it functional yet elegant?
Welcome to the club! If you are trying to save some cash, for that slippery phone pad, a cheap Haissky Non-Slip Silicone Car Dash Mat trimmed down works perfectly. Honestly, just keeping a MagicFiber Microfiber Cleaning Cloths 6-Pack in the door pocket is the absolute cheapest way to manage those piano black fingerprints. It is way more cost-effective than those expensive protective films everyone keeps talking about!
I totally agree with what was said above, that piano black trim is basically a magnet for every speck of dust. I’m pretty cautious with my GT too since I want to protect the investment. For that slippery wireless charger, you should check out the CupHolderHero Lincoln Aviator 2020-2024 Interior Liner Set. It includes a grippy piece for the charging pad that keeps your phone in place during turns, plus liners for all the cubbies which helps with rattle noise. Another thing I did for peace of mind was install a Spigen Glas.tR Slim Screen Protector Lincoln Aviator 10.1 inch. It makes the screen feel more solid and protects it from kids' sticky fingers... definitely safer than leaving it bare. For the trunk, the WeatherTech Cargo Liner Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring is a lifesaver for keeping the carpet fresh when hauling gear.
Congrats on the new ride! The Grand Touring is such a smooth beast, but yeah, that piano black trim is basically a fingerprint forensic lab if you are not careful. I went through the exact same paranoia when I got mine. Honestly, for the center console, you should look into the Xpel Interior Protection Film Lincoln Aviator. It is basically a clear bra for your interior. It keeps that shiny look but prevents the swirl marks that happen just from wiping dust off. For the floor, if you want to keep the luxury vibe without the utility truck look of hard plastic, you really have to get TuxMat Lincoln Aviator Custom Floor Mats. They have a nice quilted texture that matches the Lincoln aesthetic perfectly and they cover way more carpet than the factory ones do. For that slippery charging pad, I actually found that a super thin silicone liner helps, but the real fix for the storage is the Vesul Center Console Organizer Tray for Lincoln Aviator. Without it, that center bin is just a bottomless pit where you lose your keys and change forever. This tray gives you a spot for the small stuff while keeping the deep storage underneath. Also, for that massive Vista Roof, grab the Covercraft UVS100 Custom Sunscreen. It is thick and really helps the AC out on hot days. It fits the windshield like a glove. Enjoy the car, it is a total game changer for the daily commute!
Regarding what #3 said about "Welcome to the club! If you are trying...", I find the situation regarding interior durability to be completely unacceptable. While the powertrain engineering on the Grand Touring is absolutely amazing and I love the power curve, the lack of technical foresight in the cabin materials drives me crazy!
