Cars are a prominent part of our daily lives and we want to protect them from losing value too quickly. Cracked, warped and faded dashboards caused by UV rays are common problems that we face. Not only are they ugly, but you’ve definitely lost some value in your car.
If you find your car is parked in the sun for extended periods or frequent short periods, then this advice is for you.
The materials that make up the dashboard are sensitive and if exposed to excessive sunshine, they lose moisture which causes discolouration, drying and unpleasant cracks. Fixing a damaged dashboard is costly so avoid the heartache of getting it replaced. To protect your dashboard, take preventative measures and get yourself a dashmat. If you’re at the stage where you’ve already got a damaged dashboard, you can use the mat to cover it up, making it much more aesthetically pleasing. Dashmats also reduce the glare on the windshield and can impair your vision of the road which is a hazard on those bright, sunny days.
Each car model comes with a customised dashmat to ensure a perfect fit and you can even add exciting trim colours and monogramming to personalise your car. The materials used in making dashmats is what determines its durability and effectiveness, some of those materials include plastic, velour, suede or carpet.
