Frequently Asked Questions

How was the concept of the DashBlanket™ conceived?

After spending $500 on a used dash pad in like-new condition, and $450 on a perfect original steering wheel, I wanted an effective way to keep harmful UV radiation from ruining my investment. Realizing that the necessary protection didn't exist, I took the initiative and created the DashBlanket™.

Where is DashBlanket™ manufactured?

Every DashBlanket™ from Brew City Engineering LLC is hand crafted by skilled American citizens, right here in the United States of America.

How does DashBlanket™ remain on my dash board?

A combination of gravity and a contoured, protective steering wheel cover that uses a novel pocket to surround the bottom of the wheel keeps your DashBlanket™ in place. In many applications, several dime-sized magnets are sewn into the DashBlanket's edge where the dash meets the base of the windshield. No adhesives or fasteners of any kind are used which means when you remove it nobody will know how you keep your dash looking great.

Will the magnets scratch my interior's finish?

No. Two layers of cotton fabric separate the face of the magnet from the point of contact on your dash board. The magnets are sewn (not glued!) into the bias border for long life and trouble-free service.

How do I clean my DashBlanket™?

Simply wipe off dust, spills, etc. with a damp cloth.

Is a DashBlanket™ available for MY car?

A DashBlanket™ is available for almost any vehicle. Because of the multitude of different dashboard designs, we encourage you to send us a request with your needs!

What colors are available?

Stocked DashBlankets™ are light-grey, although we also offer seven other custom colors. Go Behind the Scenes to see samples for yourself. (Lighter colors are recommended because they reflect light better and therefore absorb a minimum amount of heat.)

Isn't DashBlanket™ the same as a "universal" fold-open windshield visor?

Not at all!!! So-called "universal" windshield visors provide incomplete coverage and offer only partial protection from damaging UV radiation due to sunlight, and then only from rays pointing DIRECTLY at the visor. The custom-tailoring of a DashBlanket™ blocks UV radiation from every angle and thus helps protect the dash pad, steering wheel and instrument panel regardless of how your car is parked or time of day. DashBlanket is also excellent at minimizing dust buildup, whether at car shows or at home in your garage!

How much is a DashBlanket™?

$99.95 plus shipping. Add $10 if you select any of the custom colors for your DashBlanket™ order.

After placing my order, how long until I receive my DashBlanket™?

In-Stock DashBlanket™ orders ship within 10 business days (after receipt of order); DashBlanket™ requests currently outside of our pattern library and/or custom colors take slightly longer. We will contact you within 2 business days with a ship date.
