Default SEM Dash Cover- anyone installed one ??

Got tired of my black fuzzy dash cover- bought SEM dash cover-3 pieces-pod cover. instrument panel cover, and one really long piece to cover the rest.

Anyone have any experience with these ??

Yea, Ive had a couple of them, they warp REAL bad if you leave the car in the sun for any amount of time. Just dont let them get hot and you will be ok. I dont mean to burst any bubbles, but they are a very temporary fix.

Yep, that's how the dash and pod get cracked in the firstplace. Mike, you should get the 100% block out window shade set from 928 Specialists. It takes a couple of minutes to put it in each day, but look at the condition my interior is in. I don't go anywhere without it. If you do that the dash cap should be fine.

my car has these caps (were in when bought) and the pod face cover is not a good fit - it affects operation of the fog light switch and odo switch. I'd rather have a cracked dash - next year's project - leather replacements!

Well, Mike and I installed the 3 piece set today. It's remakable they fit as well as they did, but, yes, we ended up doing extensive trimming around the swicth holes. Once everything was snapped into palce, it was a pretty good fit. We only glued the rear lip on the dash, and taped it down to hold it during drying. It's a decent stopgap. We'll see how well it holds up.
