Which sun screen for dashboard wood trim/windshield?
« on: September 06, 2022, 22:18:04 »
I last saw a post from 2008 I think...wondering if since then anyone might have found or have a recommendation for a sun shade to protect the dashboard wood trim or the full windshield.

Thanks Forum!

I have a bunch of these for various cars. They aren't pretty, but they do the job. They offer them with Velcro fasteners, but I just place them over the dash. https://www.covercraft.com/us/en/shop/1966-mercedes-benz-230sl/dash-covers/

I went in a different direction. I found a foldable sun screen from Griot's Garage (just checked it was 17 years ago!) which is no longer available. I did a little poking around -Covercrat and California Car Cover, and did not find a match. I know there are other outfits out there. I was quite surprised to see that the folks I mentioned did not have one available.
