Hello,

A dashboard cover can help reduce UV damage and prevent it from cracking.
However you will have to be careful the type of cover you get. As you do not want the cover to block the airbag on the passenger side. Which can prevent the airbag from deploying during an accident.
You do not want to do anything that can hinder safety.

Hope this helps.

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
