Dash not cracked yet? Spend the money on a windshield cover, leave windows cracked and sunroof tilted (if safe to do so in your area).

You’re not expecting the dash cover to protect anything are you? Because it won’t.

If you’re just looking for a cover because you want one, more power to you. But I can probably tell you how jealous many people would be that you DONT have a cracked dash and still want a cover lol

The 3G TL dash is prone to crack no matter what you do like cover, 303, sun shade, leaving window crack, don't thermal shock your interior etc... All of the method above just prolong the life of the dash but eventually it will crack and this is because the material construction of the dash.

The dash crack is prone to be happened earlier with folks living in the south and southwest climate where temperature regularly soar above 100 degree, for folk living in the snow state this happened at the slower rate but eventually their dash will crack too. If you don't want the crack dash simply just put your car in climate control storage and don't drive it.

With your mentality of protecting your interior parts before they go bad, I would buy leather seat covers instead.

The dash board if not cracked,looks great still, albeit maybe a bit faded. Putting a dash cover over it won't make the interior look better nor protect your dash from getting cracks. Heat would get transferred pretty easily through the cover.
On the other hand, seat covers will hide your 10+ year old worn out leather and make your interior look brand new

No the dash cover will not protect your dash at all. It’s purely for looks
