    With your conditions, it'll last longer and be a heck of a lot cheaper than having your dash pad re-finished.

    You asked so here goes... they suck. Maybe the heat you guys have out there will help mold it better.

    I could see that happening. I have also heard that they snap in and don't need adhesive. Either way, I am not impressed.

    im happy with mine. it fits nicely. it uses silicone to glue on. the silicone does just fine in the heat.

    I got mine from J C Whitney. It snapped on over the pad and fits great, no adhesive.

    I have three of them...have used them for at least 6 years, still look like new, didn't use adhesive, look like factory pad, love them! Oh, still have 2 more new ones for future use.
