    Maybe to prevent cracking of the surface due to prolonged exposure to the sun.

    Good luck finding one OP I'm sure a quick search of dash covers or dash kits would serve you well, I don't think they're widely used on TW enough for product reviews.

    I wouldn't mind one that added some functionality. Most vehicles dashes have cubbies and stuff, or at least a flat surface to put stuff on.

    if you put carpet on the dash, it would be prudent to cover that with vinyl again for easy cleaning.

    Maybe weathertech makes a digital fit all weather carpet dashmat cover so you don't have to vacuum the dashmat.

    I've had Dashmat brand dash mats for years in several trucks. They're great. Easily removed for vacuuming or blowing out of dust and things.

    Never had any issues with fitment, but don't buy a cheap one for that reason - fitment is king, and poorly fitting mats look absolutely terrible and never, ever make you forget.

    The DashMat pictured above isn't attached with anything... just tucked between the dash and windshield. I wouldn't recommend using anything that sticks to the dash surface as the dash color is painted on and scratches easily... tape/adhesives might pull the paint off. The mat is easy to remove for cleaning once every few years. I live in desert/volcanic area where you could fry an egg on the dash during the summer months... the mat protects it from heat and uv damage.

    I had my last truck for 15 yrs and never had any cracking issues. Just thinking that carpet is not the answer these days. personal opinion.
