Dashmat Signature Series

Anyone have a Dashmat Signature Series on their GTV6? Supposed to be that synthetic suede look. My vinyl one from Int'l got bubbled and curled back a bit from the windshield - last summer while parked in an uncovered car port in the blazing sun.

I was going to "fix' it with a heat gun and liberal application of silicon adhesive (which I failed to do the first time). But I'd like to know what this option looks like (not too crazy about the "carpet" dashmat tho).

Please post a pic if you have one.

Many thanks,

Nice thing about the 'carpet' dashpads though, they keep your sunglasses from flying when you corner properly !!!

I usually keep mine on my face HeavyMetal. Tho I could see where they might come in handy for a leggy companion to scrub the sand off her feet when returning from the dunes.

Signature Series Dash Cover Selector
Signature Series - anyone?

Well, I sent global-accessories an inquiree. Teri Hulse over there replied that they only carry Part # 1101-00-xx for the GTV6 - so, I guess not (even though their webpage would let me order one - see link on previous post)...

So I found this site. Detail for SIGNATURE SERIES Black - GoDashmat.com Not sure if the depiction is accurate (they never are). However, if it's close, this is more like what I'm looking for. I had trimmed quite a lot off of the vinyl one I have installed - seems like to get the best fit you'd have to remove the windshield. So, add another couple-three hundred for a new windshield seal (if you can find one). I sure wish I had slathered the deck down with more adhesive, but they don't supply you with that much. Oh well, you live and learn.

Doesn't look bad from the interior (the bubbling), but you see it from the exterior more in the middle, where it meets the windshield. Uuggh! Huh? yeah, you can't see it at all in this pic. The Milano wipers kinda' cover it up.

As you can see, the windshield reflector doesn't protect the dash in that area too well.

...Guess I'll rip it out, work the dash over with Goo-Gone, and try the Dashmat (it's 1/2 the money too!).
