Living in the south tends to be sort of rough on a vehicles dashboard with all the sun and heat beating down on it all the time. I learned that first hand when I saw what the son did to my parents van dashboard! It was cracked and dry! And it was not because of them! My parents are hyper vigilant when it comes to caring for their stuff!So we learned the hard way what can happen! This product is PERFECT! Not only does it cover the cracked dashboard from the caravan, it also protects the dashboard in their new Odyssey! So now we won't have to worry about a repeat of the sun damage that was caused!This dashboard cover looks very nice. Not cheap in any way! So far between myself and my parents, we have purchased 3 of them! They are all very nice and worth every single penny!
