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.

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'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"
