2. How does my dash mat attach to the dash of my vehicle?

Hook and Loop VelcroOur dash mats attach securely to your vehicle's dash with an easy-mounting Velcro fastener system. The half of the closure that mounts directly to your dash uses durable adhesive to stay in place. The top half of the Velcro closure is integrated into the cover. Several pads are strategically placed to maintain a secure and snug fit of your dashboard cover.

3. Are the Velcro fasteners difficult to remove in the future?

No. The Velcro fasteners used to anchor your dash mat are as easy to remove as any other heavy-duty tape. The glue left behind can be taken off with the right adhesive remover product. Be sure to select an adhesive remover that won't discolor your dash.

4. Will my dash cover fade?

Non-fading dash coverSome of our dash mats are UV-treated to resist fading from intense sunlight. Most dash covers will fade with time. The best way to combat the fading of your dash mat is to use it in tandem with a UV sun shade that fits in the windshield.

5. Does my new dash cover allow free movement of factory air bags?

Our custom dash covers have special shaping–usually flaps in the material–to allow full deployment of your airbag in a crash. These flaps will not slow airbag deployment, either. The force of the exploding bag is far greater than a single carpet door can impede.

6. My vehicle is getting up there in miles and age. Will you have a dash cover for my vehicle?

Yes! The older your vehicle gets, the tougher it is to keep the interior looking new. That's why we carry a dash cover for most vehicles, all the way back to the 1954 model year. Whether you've got a classic cruiser or a ride that's fresh off the lot, we've got your dash covered.

7. What if I need to wash my dashboard cover?

Vacuum your dashboard coverCleaning your custom dashboard cover is best done by vacuum. For stain removal, such as spilled drinks, spot cleaning with warm water is recommended. Chemicals, such as spot carpet cleaners, are not recommended for use with the dash cover material.
