Recommendations for dash cover and windshield shade?

[NMJack]

I live in the desert, so have always used dash covers and shades for the windshield when parked in the sun. My current 4Runner has a Dashmat brand dash cover and a HeatShield brand shade. I have a new 4Runner coming and am interested in any recommendations. Thanks!

I, too, have Dash Mat on all my cars.

Thanks. It looks like they're still the leaders in dash covers.

I'm looking at Weather Tech for the shade. They aren't cheap, but I can add on a Weather Tech storage pouch, which I really like. I've had Weather Tech front floor mats in a 4Runner before, and those were pretty nice.

I've gotten great sunshades and dash covers from Covercraft. They have several options for each, and they fit everytime.

windshield cover: brand doesn't matter, but get on that folds NOT rolls.

Thanks. I may go with Covercraft for both. I just want a quality product.

Ceramic tint on the front windshield. You can get basically clear film.

I went this brand of shade recently and I like it. Windshield Sun Shades, Car Window Shades and Car Window Covers by HeatShield: The Original Windshield Sun Shade

A bit pricey of a route but I got the WeatherTech shades package for the 4R, have been very happy with them. Use the windshield and rear hatch shade all the time. Occasionally use the front driver/pass ones also. Works well.

For the dash mat I went with Escape Gear (since I wanted their seat covers also)
very good investment IMO. Seems to help keep car cooler, dash is protected and audio sounds slightly better. And the perfect place to hide the horrendous Massachusetts EZ Pass unit.

I have been happy with the cover craft shade.

Fit of custom Cover Craft if worth every $ for what seems a premium price.

Covercraft is perfect.

Thanks all! I'm going with CoverCraft for both shade and dash cover. I've owned DashMats for years, and for the 4Runner I prefer the Velour mat in black. It lays nice and flat and looks nice. I certainly like the looks of their folding shade with available storage pouch. The WeatherTechs are a little cheaper, but I like the idea of the folding shade.

I've enjoyed my HeatShield shade for the front windshield for years now. Always use it when the sun is out, definitely lowers the temperature inside the truck when it's parked outside.

I got this one. It's stout and fits perfect. Not a fan of the folding or rolling-take up too much space. This one fits perfect in pocket on back of passenger seat.
