Dash Mat Cover

Looking some for UV protection on the dash of my 82. Anyone have a pic of a dash mat on their C3?

I have one in my '70, it was in the car when I got it, the dash is perfect underneath it.

Then you should take it off.
As I'm certain your dash would look ten times better than that awful matt.

Unless it's parked everyday in the sun they're not really needed.

My dash pad is still perfect at 49 years without ever having one...

I have one on my 82 CE and my Dodge Ram. Dash stays much cooler with Dash mat.

I like it so its staying

it cuts down reflection from the dash onto the windscreen, I have no speakers in the dash so muffling sound from the radio isn't an issue either. It looks worse in the pic than in person but might be time to restore the emblem so I'll add that to the list
