Sun shades - Do you use them?
I daily drive my car, and from about 5am to 5pm it sits in a concrete parking lot at work. This is pretty much every day. I have seen numerous vehicles with a dash that is cracking and faded and messed up. I can only assume that it is because of the sun's effects on the dash.
I have a pair of sun shades and I use them every day. Yes, they are a pain to have to deal with, but I don't want the dash in my car to look like h*ll in a few years.
Do yall use them?

I use one in my DD each day - keeps the dash and the interior cooler.

It has the C5 Logo on it too!
You are a wise person! I even made some sun shades for the side windows.

The shades keep the interior cooler big time. Especially in your case,John, since your car is black!

I definitely use a sun shade to protect my HUD and dash pad. I don't think the previous owner used one cause the dash pad around the HUD shrunk and the display for the HUD looks sun-damaged. I also had to buy a dash-mat (ewww) to prevent further damage to my dash pad.
