Default dashcover

After reading the thread about the dashboard warping, started looking at dashboard covers. There's a lot out there to chooses from and they run about $45 on average. I wanted to get the forums opinion on them before buying one.
I have found complaints of some brands not fitting properly, not staying flat or secure enough, being flimsy and covering certain sensors.
Anyone currently own a dashmat brand that they are happy with?

Tint the front window, treat your dash with Maguire or Mothers...something with UV protection, and yes, get a sunshade.

Thanks for the suggestions. I do already use a sunshade and dash treatment. My question is, more specifically, about dashboard covers. Like this one...
and if anyone has any experience with one they are happy with.

I have a 16 Lariat and have used dash mats on my truck for several decades (Arizona) and have been using a product from dash mat and have never had a problem with them.

Bought a Dash Designs carpet dashcover from AutoAnything for my 2016 XLT. Perfect fix and looks good.
Those who complain about their a/c not working well should try one. That huge piece of black plastic works just like a heater. Mine got so hot from the desert sun it would burn my hand if I touched it.
