Q: Which fabric and color is best for my dash cover?

Dash Topper® manufactures custom dash covers in a variety of fabrics and colors which allow you to choose the dash cover that will look best in your vehicle. In most cases it is best to match the color of your dashboard, or if you prefer, the color of your seat upholstery.

Q: Do Dash Topper® dash covers come with a warranty?

Our Poly Carpet™ dash covers come with a lifetime warranty and our Velour, Suede, and DashTex fabrics have a 5 year warranty against manufacturer’s defects.

Q: How long will it take to make my Dash Topper® dash cover?

Dash covers usually ship in 5 to 7 business days after they are ordered unless custom embroidery is ordered (add 1 extra business day).

Q: What is a light sensor and how do I know if I have one?

A light sensor tells your automatic headlights to turn on if your vehicle is so equipped. The sensor is located on top of the dashboard and near the windshield.

If your vehicle’s headlights come on automatically at night, you have a light sensor. Do not confuse auto headlights with daytime running lights that come on every time the vehicle is started.

A small opening will be made in your dash cover to allow the sensor to function.

Q: What is a climate control sensor and how do I know if I have one?

A climate control sensor helps determine the cabin temperature. If you have climate control, the AC/Heating control knob will have numbers (temperature settings) and the AC or heater will come on automatically to maintain the selected temperature.

The sensor is usually located on top of the dashboard and near the windshield.

A small opening will be made in your dash cover to allow the sensor to function.

Q: What is a navigation system?

Many vehicles now come from the manufacturer with a built in navigation system (usually an option) which is typically a small monitor on the dashboard to display maps and other information.

The question of Navigation refers to original equipment, not after-market.

If you have had an aftermarket system installed on your dash, you will have to remove it and reinstall after installing your dash cover.

Q: What is heads-up display?

Heads-up display is available in a small number of vehicles and allows some of your critical gauges to be projected onto the lower part of your windshield.

Q: What is Forward Collision Warning

Forward Collision Alert is a system that detect when a vehicle is getting to close to another vehicle and will actively brake or steer the vehicle for you. In a lot of cases vehicles will have a small screen on the dash (typically on the drivers side) that will project a warning on your windshield.

Q: What is an alarm sentry?

An alarm sentry is a flashing light or sensor for remote control for your alarm or to indicate that your alarm is on.

Q: What is parktronic/ultrasonic park assist?

A row of indicator lights are located on top of the dash to show how close objects are to your bumper.

Q: Will my dash cover cover my dashboard airbag?

If your vehicle has a designated panel for an airbag, your dash cover will have a flap over the airbag which will not impair its operation. If there is no panel, no flap will be made and there will be no impairment.

Q: Will my dash cover cover the storage compartment on my dashboard?

Storage compartments with lids on top of the dash are covered with a flap which allows the lid to be opened.

Trays without lids on the dash may or may not be covered.

Q: Do Dash Topper® Dash covers have openings for the speakers on my dashboard?

No, all of our dash covers are constructed from porous fabrics that allow sound to transmit freely through the material.
