My take on dash mats. I always use as the lack of windscreen reflection (especially with black mats) is great. You do not appreciate the difference until you try it. Put any black dull fabric on a bit of dash with the sun shining in the 'screen and see the "black hole" area not-reflecting in the glass.
I also skin the underside with aluminium foil to insulate. I can tell you that when I removed such a mat from a seventeen year old car which I have has since new, the dash was in MINT condition. I was actually surprised myself. That car has seen plenty of time out in sunny Australian days.
The foil idea has backfired somewhat with the GPS in the new car by a shielding effect. I have had to reposition the antenna and remove an area of foil.
