Dash cover for 2015 Fit?

Does anyone have / use a dash cover? Are they worth it? Do they look OK? I was thinking about getting a "sueded" cover for the front to bring down the glare and protect the dash.

Also curious if they offer any acoustic benefits considering the tweeters are tucked in the corner by the windshield.

Thanks!

This is my personal opinion.
So feel free to disagree, really disagree, supremely disagree and/or think I'm totally wrong.
But I could never get into dash covers. To me they cross into that awkward realm occupied by Grandma and Grandpa's plastic Sofa Cover. -Sure they work, but can't we just sit on the Sofa?

But if you want one? That's up to you. It certainly would reduce the glare. I still don't want one, but I can recognize that benefit.

I use one. Mainly to reduce the glare on these long road trips of mine. And it does protect the dash from the sun. I just lay mine on the dash and it stays put without any adhesive. Since it is not attached and smoothed out, it looks rumpled but that doesn't bother me. I can easily remove and clean it that way. Dash mats work but they're not for everybody.

I do keep a very old generic car cover when I know it is one of those 90+ days in Texas use it only if nobody is around to see how stupid I am.

I have a dashmat cover (color-cinder) helps for faster cooling with the AC. Didn't feel the need to buy the windshield cover. Plus it helps with the glare and keeps the dash cooler on sunny days. $40 dollars shipped from amazon.

That's a bargain!

I bought a dashboard cover ($24) to reduce glare, a glue-on rear bumper protector ($28) to protect when loading, and a set of rubber front floor mats ($70)....all on line, all a good addition.

I think they look awful, but it's your car do what you want. To cut glare off the dashboard, I have polarized sunglasses.
