Dashboard care

Fwiw when using the word "dashmat" I'm always talking about the real thing:

They're all I use. Also had one on the Delorean, a car infamous for dashboard cracking. Fortunately mine remained pristine.

Thanks for the link. I didn't even realize that DashMat was a brand, I always thought it was just a generic term.
It looks like you can get one for the MK3 for $40, that's not bad at all.
Did you secure your's to the actual dash with Velcro like their website says to, or did it stay in place without fastening it to anything?
It has become generic which is why I made the comment. On the Supra I did not velcro. Tucked into the space at the windshield's base instead. It would slip out at times but no big deal. Keep in mind these things need time to conform. That can take a few weeks and gets better with age. After that it didn't move unless I disturbed it.
Just buy some Vinylex & call it a day. (Made by Lexol, which makes cleaners & conditioners for leather. which is sold by Lexus dealerships)

That's good to know. I'm definitely going to look into one. Would you happen to have any pictures of the one in your car? The only picture I've found is the one JDMA70 posted.
Very nice and thank you for the info. I too didn't know Dashmat was an actual company. Fit looks great and definitely looks good in my book too!

Can you post some pictures when you get it in?
sure, no problem. although the car it's going in is in another county and it won't be installed for about 3-4 weeks.

I picked it up from a friend. I think he has another one, it's maroon- dunno if your interior is.
Holy crap. Would have never thought a dashmat could look so good (the amazing fitment is what's so appealing to me)

Sorry, I don't, but it looked much like that and the other photo posted. I think they look great while saving the dash and not gunking up the windshield like many protectants do. And as I said the longer they sit the better they fit.

That's fine. I kinda like the way they look as well. I also hate it when you put something on the dash and it out-gasses onto the windshield. That's why I normally don't and just wipe it down with a microfiber.
You ever think about putting one of those windshield shields? Even the reflective ones should decrease the heat in the car.....
