dotpoom Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I cut a nice piece of cloth to place along the dash top running the length of the window screen to stop the upholstery from cracking in the heat. What make of car/truck has that problem ? Just did it with all my vehicles here, not any particular make or model. If the sun is shining directly onto the dash top through the windscreen it becomes extremely hot and this is just a protection. I have seen older cars with the dash top all cracked and peeling and the inside showing through. I usually buy a meter of nice black furry type material and cut it to fit the top. I first did it on a Mercedes I had and it looked great so I have done at all times since. You can also buy ready made mats for this purpose but they don't look anything special.

A carpet on the dash doesn't look cool if you have trendy wheels.......... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiebebe Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 All modern car panels are coated with clear paint. This blocks UV and protects the color. Therefore, sunlight will not degrade the paint. However, any contaminants that fall on the surface such as bird droppings and tree sap will harm the paint if left unchecked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thailandbeachisland Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 So it seems that the color will be ok but that plastics will crack. Any piece of clothe on the dashboard is not really an option on a nice car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post chiang mai Posted March 17, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2014 Black absorbs, white reflects, if you don't believe that then check your laundry line next time you do a wash. On that basis, black items should become damaged whereas white items should remain pristine, correct? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it seems to be the reason why some people are so addicted to wash their car. And I read that tha car paint should be washed very well when it comes our from the dealer.

IMHO Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 related question - anyone use a car / truck cover? Suggestions / recommendations / advice appreciated. If you want swirls, holograms and to ultimately give your car that "freshly sanded" look as the the dust the gets under wears away at your paint, they're a fantastic accessory, IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
