Best Dashboard Cover

Magnetic · Sep 17, 2021

Hey All!

Any recommendations on a solid dashboard cover?

I live in Arizona and the sun is brutal. I'm starting to notice a small crease on the passenger side where the airbag is and would like to get a cover to prevent any further damage. It's not bad but I don't want it to get worse.

If you have photos please post them as well.

Thanks in advance!!

Not a common thing on these cars. I'd suggest buying a spare dash and stashing it someplace.

I know someone on the forum here has one and reported that that ordered it from AliExpress I believe. Not a fan of the look of carpeted dash but that may help. I'll follow up if I find a link.

What I would recommend instead is getting one of these windshield sun shades, it will protect the dash and also serve the extra function of keeping the whole car a lot cooler. If you get one, it's good to get one that's custom fit for our car, because the generic ones that you can buy don't fit well in our tall windshield. I got this custom fit one a couple years ago and like it a lot. It fits perfectly, and rolls up easily for storage and then secures to itself with an attached velcro strap. I thought the price was quite reasonable for a custom fit one, and you can get it in gold or silver.-

Will the Sub-Model "All Fiesta Models" fit the ST? (Asking in case since I'm about to order it LoL)

Djkid1456 · Sep 17, 2021

Magnetic said:

I would imagine it would since the glass is the same across all submodels as far as I am aware.

Ok I just found this as well. This has custom fitting shades for all FiSTs windows!

I have this one and it fits great - Intro-Tech FD-33 Custom Fit Windshield Sunshade for Select Ford Fiesta Models, Silver https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007Y52H2...abc_58JPSXGDBF8A2K33W83V?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Yes it will, that's how I ordered it. I believe the glass is the same for all the different Fiestas as @Djkid1456 said.

I believe that's the same one that I linked to above, just from a different seller.
