Looking for a RR poly dash cover to kill sun glare!

[John E Davies]

I am 0 for 2 so far - the Covercraft one and also the CarCoverUSA one do NOT fit, they are for the 2023 and earlier trucks that have a recessed cubby instead of a speaker. And the dimensions and general contours are wrong too.

Don’t tell me that these look dorky, killing the sun glare is my goal. Not only does it bother me, it wrecks the quality of my dash cam video when driving into the sun, even using its polarizing attachment lens. All my vehicles get black covers. I have been using a scrap of black felt but that does look bad….

Compare the reflection on the left, where the felt is, with the center and right side. The license plate of the parked car is completely unreadable:

Any verified suppliers? I am willing to order from overseas, if their mold is correct!

Thanks.

I got this one from Amazon. Fits my 6g Lariat. Says Currently unavail, tho.

It doesn’t use Velcro, does it slide or blow around if you have the windows open? Is it fairly rigid? I found another one that appears to be correct for the Raptor - at least they provide pictures. The other two companies did not do that. And this is half the cost. I may try it and return it if I am not happy. This has the hole up front for the sun sensor.

This was way less than half the price of the “big brands”, is better made and fits the USA RR nicely. It doesn’t use velcro tape either, just rubber silicone nubs. The only odd thing is the cutouts near the center speaker. Which is acceptable to me. The material is not dead flat (reflectivity) like the piece of felt I was using before, it has a very slight “sparkle” that reflects at some sun angles. It is not bothersome. If it is, add that scrap of felt right in front of your line of sight, you can get it at any fabric store.

it has a rubber backing and no velcro. it’s not rigid and is pliable. i’m not sure about flapping with windows open, it been too hot here lol. mine didn’t have a cutout for the sun sensor, so i made a cut for it. it doesn’t lay down perfectly, but is good enough for me.

I bought this one from Amazon and the fit around the radio speaker was the same as pictured here so I cut along the sewn seams on each side of the radio speaker then tucked the material underneath the dash cover. Now the cover fits flush over the speaker. I think one could cut a thin pie shaped piece out of each side of the speaker cover too. And yes, I also cut out a hole for the light sensor. I can't say I'm unhappy with the fit after my alterations.

After I cut along the sewn stitch lines on each side of the speaker the dash cover lays flat

Have you ever considered tinting your windshield 70%? I did this and noticed a substantial reduction in glare and the film provides some heat rejection and is still clear enough to see well at night.

Buyer Beware!!! I ordered a Coverking dash mat from RealTruck and it does not fit my XLT. Mat is too short side to side, holes for A/C vents in wrong place and has a drop-down flap for a glove box that is not needed. The RealTruck & Coverking site both say it fits the 2024 XLT however the packing slip in the box says it's for the 2019-2023. After contacting RealTruck, they refunded the mat but not the $13 shipping. I spent 45 minutes arguing with them but they maintain it's not their fault they were given wrong information by Coverking and it's against their policy to refund shipping. I just recently bought the truck and am starting to outfit it so RealTruck just lost a lot of sales over ripping me off for $13. I contacted Coverking about their mistake and they just blew me off.
