- Dashboard covers lessen the sun's damaging effects, reduce glare and reflected heat and also enhance the overall appearance of your vehicle's interior. By fitting snugly over an auto's dashboard, these covers protect them from dust and dirt, as well as harmful ultraviolet rays that can cause discoloration and cracking.
- Protective dashboard covers, which typically cost less than $100, come in a variety of materials such as molded plastic and velour. Dashboard covers can be customized with designer prints, neon-light borders and embroidered logos or messages. Make sure that you choose a dashboard cover with a good warranty.
- A dashboard cover's fit is very important so make sure you buy one that is easy to install. Begin by cleaning the dashboard with mild detergent and a damp sponge. Heat the dashboard cover's fabric with a hair dryer so that it conforms to the contours of your vehicle's dashboard. Check to see that the cover does not obscure any control switches and that its cutouts line up precisely with defrost vents. Place fastening strips at key points along the dash and then put the dashboard cover in place.
