For those of you asking about my dash toupee, We have some very hot summers here and it helps save the dash better than treating it, Also it helps with the sun glare I get off the dash, It isn't mounted, I can and have removed it at times, Bottom line, It works for it's intended purpose.

Have you thought about tinting your windshield? I did mine and it's great!

I have my sides and small rear convertible window tinted to legal (Florida) limits, however a few Corvette guys I know also tinted their windshield. What's great is that, unlike the side windows, you can't tell the windshields are tinted and they block out a lot of the heat and UV rays.

They may do their job, but they're so cheap and pathetic looking! Why can't the Corvette aftermarket make a decent dash cover? Lloyd, are you listening?
