I have one only because my dash pad is shrinking near the HUD. There is a small gap now between the dash pad and the HUD. I am hoping the dash cover will help protect and prevent further damage.

I finally broke down and got one. The last road trip I took, up into the Blue Ridge Mtns., the sun was almost always right in my eyes, and the glare off the dash was killing me. I never use any high gloss protectant b/c the natural shine of the dash is bad enough, but that was the last straw.

Yup I have one, from Dash Mats, is a velour fabric. Hated the glare form the dash. Fits perfectly. If in a bright sunny climate like I was in TX it was a MUST!!

I have one,keeps the heat inside the car down when parked in the sun,and gets rid of the glare when driving.
It also keeps my DVD player from sliding off the dash during hard cornering,so I don't have to miss part of the movie.....

Living in the Nevada desert you need one and it also keeps the sun from reflecting off the dash.

Don't use a dash mat on mine. It is garaged the majority of the time. I do use a sun shade when I have the car parked outside though.
