Anybody have any opinions/experience with dash covers?
I thought I might get one from Coverlay Mfg until I decide to get a nice one from 914 Rubber. Here's the link: https://coverlaymfg.com/i-11361518-coverlay...dash-cover.html |

They just sort of snap on then you leave them in the sun a bit and they snug up even more. The really cheap, thin ones need glue to stay on. |
