bikinchris Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 If you use a sun shade on your windshield like I do. (It saved the dashboard of my old Ranger for 17 years) Be aware that there is a gap between the dashboard and the windshield itself and in that gap, there is some sort of weatherstrip that is very sticky. If the sun shade falls into that gap, it will stick and you might tear that weatherstrip. robertlane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikinchris Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Probably does, But if they were that far out in front, you might not be able to reach them until you put on your hiking boots and made the trek out that far!!

bikinchris Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 After looking closer, if you have a sheet of paper on the dash, they won't likely fall between the dash and windshield, because of the lip on the front edge of the dash. The sun shades are slid along the windshield, so they are more likely to go into the gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
