Can anyone comment on what tangible benefits these actually provide? I am confused on why you would want one. they look cozy and nice especially the one OP has but unsure if there’s any other benefits I’m missing

When I google why you should get one there are many reasons given by the companies selling them (obviously) but I’ve never seen a dash “damaged” by the sun in my limited life experience. Some of these claims of improved air conditioner performance and reduced glare seem questionable too. I could see the glare if your dash was like bright white but most are dark anyways.
Yeah I live in the Sonoran Desert as well and I really don’t get the idea of these. Put shades in the window when parking in the sun.

Looking good!
Compared to Covercraft’s website, smoke looks lighter than their color samples.
I might give black LTD a try.
I was thinking the same but black may look out of place. I will get the smoke and use fabric dye to color match closer to the original blue dash color. Thoughts ?

Difficult to tell for sure but from the photos it appears to cover up the grilles on the dashboard speakers?
It does, but I split time between Mexico and Arizona. I'll just take it to a Tapicero and have the cutouts for the speakers professionally done for $20 or so.

Shame they don't sell a model with the same Pier Blue Navy color of the dash, which I happen to like. I could see dash mat possibly providing some sound insulation from sounds emanating from the dash area.

Does the Covercraft just sit on the dash, use adhesive, or a non-slip backing?
