Got my Dash Cover what do you guys think?

Never heard of a dash cover. Is there a problem or enhancement the dash cover provides?

 

Aesthetically speaking, it's not the best I've seen !!! What about the corner on the passenger side that is not covered, if like you suppose, it will fade, crack or warp the thing, will it also do it on the uncovered part. With all the heat generated by the direct sun, I really recommand you don't stick any velcro there as it's going to be a mess to remove (adhesive) and you risk more of a disaster than putting nothing...just my two cents

Stay foolish, stay logic

The dash cover is just not for me. And if you use a heat shield your dash will be fine.

 

I would be interested to see if it helps with the the dash heat soaking.

 

Ah...never had that happen to a dash board.

 

Not for me but still nice. I like it clean and shiny

As for the sun I just a solar visor. keeps the car cooler to.

 

Very ugly - sorry but you did asked peoples opinions, in the end it really comes down to what you like though. I have driven 25 year old vehicles that never had their dash crack or fade. All automotive glass does have some level of UV protection.

That all being said - I had purchased a dashmat like this for my S10, after putting it on the dash it was immediately removed for being hideous, I re-sold it on ebay to some other sucker, took a loss - but I was not going to use that thing.

 

Come to think of it - the last vehicle I had with a dash damaged by the sun and heat was back in the 1970s. I believe the newer plastics and materials are more resistant to UV(???) and, as you say, the glass is probably better too.

I'll keep my dashmat - I don't think it looks particularly hideous. But, back in the day, I thought the AMC Pacer was a sharp looking car.

YMMV

 

If you want to talk about Ugly cars I always had a soft spot for the Pontiac AZTEK.[/quote]

Yea right. I am still laughing. Great sense of humor, I like that. We have had one on the Vibe gt since it was new. Probably does not look as good as the dash itself but we like having it there. I take it off periodically to clean the dust fron the dash. Keeps my glasses from falling off the dash, I hate glasses. So, I too have ordered one for the C. The company I bought from has to make it so will be a couple of weeks before I get it. Won't particularly like it but I think it serves a purpose, a couple of them, for me.

Lots of people thought the Scion XB was super ugly too - but I loved that car. Just goes to show - everyone's tastes are different. There is a Chrysler 300C that lives near me (One of the most classy looking cars ever produced IMO) and this dude has every chrome thing you can imagine taped onto the car. Its like he robbed the accessories section from wal-mart - ruined the car in my opinion, but he drives that thing around with pride...

I went dash cover for the 1st time. Dash Care tech black. The only reason was to protect my C's dash from scratches as the suction on my window mounded GPS gave way and left two cuts and a couple scratches in the dash plastic. Not sure how it did that as there are no sharp edges? Anyway t gets scratches very easy! Know I can mount it without rocking more scratches. It looks better than I thought it would!

 

Here is a picture of the Dash Care tech black dash cover. Total $50.00 with shipping and came in two days wets coast to east coast
