Does anyone use a dash mat/dash cover?

I use black shelf liner cut to fit. Cheap and it cuts glare nicely!
Amazon.com - Duck Brand 1359572 Non-Adhesive Select Grip Easy Shelf Liner, 12-Inch x 20-Feet, Black - Cabinet Liners
I cut a vertical seam at the middle of the airbag deployment zone. I doubt that something this flimsy will affect the airbag deployment, but with the seam it just gets pushed out of the way.

The material and stitching is as good as it ever was.
I think that's the case.

This is about the best I can do with a flip phone. It was fresh out of the box and hadn't started laying down yet.

Just got a dashdesigns.com for my 2010. They said the black velour is best for glare reduction. Fit is decent and it stays in place without Velcro. Covers more than it needs too, but no big deal. I could see if you lived in Arizona or Hawaii, you'd want maximum coverage.

I guess I just don't see the point of a dashmat unless it is to keep dust off the dash or if car is parked in hot sun all the time to protect dash from cracking.
A quality pair of sunglasses eliminates the reflection and helps driver with better visibility all around.

Yes, it's the reflection of the dashboard. Civics have the same issue, but not as bad. Some of us wear glasses so clip-on polarized sunglasses are a dorky and expensive option. At least a dash cover is inexpensive and you can always remove it. I wonder if there such a thing as a stretchy glare control film. Kind of like vehicle wrap but with a dull surface.

When you mention sun reflection off the dash, do you mean the sunlight is actually hitting the dash and going into your eyes or the light off the dash clouds the windshield? Do dashmats help with the glare on the glass when driving into the sun? I hate that I get a gray hue on the windshield from the dash.

The main issue is a reflection of the dash on the inside of the windshield when driving in the direction of the sun. I got a black dash mat, problem solved. It stays in place without a problem so I skipped the Velcro strips they include.
