The Best Fitting Custom Dashboard Covers
Dash Covers are a popular accessory in the sunbelt
states to combat the damaging effects of the sun, reduce dangerous sun
glare and enhance a vehicle's interior. A proper fitting Custom Dash
Cover will soften the plastic look of a vehicle's interior and provide
protection to the driver and vehicle dashboard.
Custom Rear Deck Covers, a related accessory, covers the rear deck area
of a vehicle behind the rear seats. Generally, Custom Rear Deck Covers
are not available for trucks, SUVs, vans and hatchback cars. Custom
Rear Deck Covers are available in the same materials and fabrics as
Custom Dash Covers.
A new variation on the Custom Dash Cover by Coverking is the Molded
Dash Cover. This is a thermo-formed carpet Dash Cover. It is molded
to the exact shape of the dashboard, resulting in a perfect fitting
cover with no stitching - this is the "ultimate" Custom Dash Cover.
What's Important in a Custom Dash
Cover?
A Custom Dash Cover is a very conspicuous accessory - it is clearly
visible to the driver and front passenger. Therefore, fit and appearance
are the most important qualities of a Custom Dash Cover. The fit is
a result of the Custom Dash Cover's pattern design, construction and
materials. Coverking offers several enhancements to it's line of fine
fitting Custom Dash Covers. These include a wide selection of designer
print materials, Lit Neon Edging, and custom embroidered logos or messages.
Due to different computers & monitor settings actual colors may vary
slightly from what you see on your screen.
Pattern Design
Modern vehicle dashboards are complex, with subtle curved shapes, trays,
cup holders, sensors, airbag cutouts, and other considerations. It is
common for dash cover manufacturers to take a short-sighted approach
to the pattern design, and make a mediocre fitting pattern. Addressing
the curves, sensors and cutouts results in a significant amount of time
designing the pattern and later cutting and sewing the Custom Dash Cover
in production. Because of this, many Custom Dash Cover manufacturers
cut corners and produce a Custom Dash Cover which covers sensors,
cup holders,
and doesn't address some of the contours of the dashboard. At best,
this produces a poor fit. At worst, it is a dangerous hazard which can
prevent automatic headlights from functioning and airbags from deploying.
With a full time staff of professional pattern makers and advanced computer
aided design (which was pioneered in the custom auto accessory field
be Coverking 20 years ago), Coverking has the tools to assure a consistent,
perfect fitting Custom Dash Cover. All Coverking Custom Dash Cover patterns
are CAD designed from the original vehicle dashboard using sophisticated
software. The process of making a Custom Dash Cover pattern takes upwards
of 2 weeks but results in a perfect compliment to the original vehicle's
dashboard. All cutouts, sensors, cup holders and airbag openings are
studied and the Custom Dash Cover is designed not to interfere.
Material
Coverking established the two most popular materials on the market;
Poly-Carpet and Velour. Since then, Coverking has added Designer Velour
and has added enhancements such as Lit Neon Edging. Coverking offers
Custom Seat Covers in several materials and colors. Poly-Carpet
A tough yet attractive polyester non-tufted low pile carpet which has
a lifetime warranty and provides the maximum protection for the dashboard
and cuts the most glare. Poly-Carpet has been our most popular material
choice for years. Poly Carpet is available for all Custom Dash Covers
and Rear Deck Covers in several colors.
Velour:
Luxurious and elegant, Velour is a perfect choice for luxury
vehicles. It is available in several colors to compliment the
interior of most vehicles. Velour is also available in our Custom
Seat Covers, offering a matching interior. |

Molded Carpet:
Very similar to Poly-Carpet, with a thermo-formable backing. Once molded
into shape, the material will hold that shape for life. Molded Carpet
is guaranteed for life. Designer Velour
The same basic material as regular Velour, but with exciting Designer
Prints - including Hawaiian Prints in black, red and blue, Flames, PinUp
Girls, Cheetah, Leopard, and Zebra.
Construction
Coverking Custom Dash Covers are made in California, U.S.A. by skilled
professionals working in a clean and comfortable environment. Far from
a "sweatshop", Coverking Custom Dash Covers are made by people who enjoy
Medical Insurance, ample opportunities for advancement, and more than
a livable wage.
Unfortunately, well paid and happy employees often mean an expensive
product. Coverking uses technology and automation to keep prices down,
quality up and happiness high. A heavily computerized production area
optimizes every operation and results in superior quality at prices
often associated with third-world labor.Coverking Custom Dash Covers
and Rear Deck Covers are constructed using a "zigzag" stitch. Other
Dash Covers available on the market are made using a "blind" stitch.
Every stitching style has an intended use, for Custom Dash Covers
the optimal stitch style is the zigzag stitch. Coverking's zigzag stitch
takes more time and is more expensive, but the results are worth the
added expense - the stitch acts as a hinge, allowing the cover to contour
the surface of the dashboard. A zigzag stitch also allows small pieces
to be sewn together, because there is no margin. A blind stitch results
in the dash cover curling into the stitch, it attracts dust, it lifts
off the dashboard because material is underneath the stitch, and it
prevents small pieces from being sewn together - due to the necessary
margins. Coverking Custom Dash Covers have been selected over competitors
by many automotive accessory retailers for their fit, materials, and
construction.
