The fit is so custom that you will need to push it with an interior tool or screw driver between the windshield and the dash. Again, I really like it and believe not only does it get rid of the glare, but it looks good also. All in all it takes very little work to install and I believe most people will be very happy with the end result.
Hi Neal,

Fortunately for me IPD, a local parts outfit, is a dealer for Dash Design.

For any of you who may never have heard of IPD, they began as an after-market supplier for Volvos. Then they branched into goodies for large RV's () and I think they now also sell goodies for Subies.

I found them when I owned a Volvo and still buy from them. I buy stuff that would be for any car. They are very selective on what they carry and IMO it is only the very best of stuff.

You might Google IPD & check them out; a great company.

Per the site "Attaches with velcro tabs"..........? Does that mean sticking adhesive on the dash? If so, they are not for me. I ask because I wondered how well it held with the top down.

Default Dash Cover

Hi Redliner,

Any chance of you posting a photo of the dash without the cover on it, showing where the Velcro goes?

Thanks,

Jerry Baumchen

PS) What venue did you use to order it; phone, website, etc?

I ordered it online directly from Dash Design. It's the brushed suede fabric. It comes with two velcro strips that I cut into 1/2" pieces, I placed one piece about every 2" across the front, around the airbag and light sensor, and along the windshield vent.

I'd take it off to show you the velcro but it took some time for me to get it exactly aligned the way I like it lol

The material itself is nice looking. The suede fabric is adhered/sewn on a soft thin foam material. Total thickness of the pad is about 1/4"

Overall I'm happy with the result. If you want to get rid of the glare on the dash, I recommend this solution.
