Reviews: Daystar Dash Panels

This top dash replacement is a great product that makes good use of valuable unused space. Very simple to install and adds a convenient location for your phone, sunglasses, or whatever fits. I would reccomend this product.

I needed more room on my dash for my cell and Ipod, the factory dish was too small and items often sliped out. This product provided the room I needed but had two small flaws. One no hardwere to secure it to the dash. A set of self taping screws would be great. Second, the little change trays do not do a good job of actually holding change in them. One good turn and its all over the place. Overall good room, easy to instal, and looks good.

This is a great product that works well and looks great in my 2010 JK. This is something that Jeep should have built directly from the factory. Be careful if you put a cell phone in the tray as the phone cause interference with the compass unit which is mounted directly below the tray.

Great product, easy to install. You do have to drill two small hole in the dash, but they would cover with the factory rubber pad if this is ever removed. The one thing that I think would make this better and would have made it earn 5 stars in my book is if there was a latched cover that could snap on and off. Kinda like your moms tup-aware, or even something that is hinged. That way if things are loose in the holder and you go on an incline or sidehill or even roll you rig, the things don't go flying around.

Holds ID badge and sunglasses

This is a great alternative to the stock storage area. Items stay in place on corners and going over bumps etc. I highly recommend it.

Easy install.

This dash piece is awesome and a great idea for anyone needing a little extra storage or just wanting a new look.. Just be careful when taking the old off, the metal retainer clips will fall off. The new one does not come with these, it should.

For the Jeep JK. Great place to store sunglasses, pen, camera, paper, GPS, cell phone. Very easy to install, took about 10 minutes. The fit and finish look factory, if you didn't know about these Jeeps, you would think that it came that way from the factory. Got to be careful with your cell phone on the front compartment area (closest to you) if you have the compass. The compass module is underneath that area and your cell phone will cause your directions to be incorrect. I have a GPS on my cell phone and I put velcro on the rear area and the compass works fine. You will need to add some felt, or rubber material, or cloth in the compartments to minimize sliding, they are just hard plastic. I have a piece of cloth (sunglasses cleaning cloth) down temporarily to stop any sliding. Other than that, great product, easy to install, directions are straight forward, and very functional. It really should be like this from the factory.

Product provides a handy and convenient place to put some of the clutter and small items we carry in the Jeep, cell phone, parking stubs, other assorted items. It is easy to install, just wish it did not have the manufacture's company slogan imprinted on the front of the unit.

A very easy to install option that uses an area Jeep failed to use. This item provides a very convenient place to put small items that tend to get buried, cell phones, parking stubs, toll booth change, etc. Do wish the manufacturer had not embossed their company slogan on the front of the unit, does not affect the utility but does slightly distract from the overall appearance.

You cannot place cell phones and related items, it causes the compass to malfuction. Check in the owners manual. I still use mine for storage but wish I could use it for cell phone.

Looks good, and easy to install. I wish it had "non-slip" substance on the bottom of the two compartments. I thought it did when I bought it, but so far the cell phone stays put. Because of the lack of a non-slip surface, the eyeglasses move around a bit, but I'm going to add some material to the bottom of the trays to make them truly non-slip.

I LIKE IT BUT I THINK THAT THEY SHOULD DO IT MORE XTREME AND MORE IF ITS FOR A JEEP.

added some much needed on dash storage for GPS and phone

Items stay put unless you're off-road

ok i had to get one for the JK due to no storage space for misc. items. it was easy to install. but I think i installed the compass backwards because the direction is reversed( driving east and compass read West) I will do a 180 on it when I get a chance. also I cut some extra kitchen shelf liner that I bought from Ikea and glued it to the two inserts to keep the items from sliding around. I love it my cell phone and Ipod are staying in place. good item but I think it should cost around 12 to 15 dollars.

I bought this to provide a mounting surface for the control head of my ham radio, but it would work just as well for a GPS, MP3 player or similar accessory. It has a great mounting surface on the front and let me avoid a lot of drilling on my dash. If I want to remove it, I just take it off and put the two mounting screws back in without it and it will look like they are holding in the OEM tray. It also functions well in its intended purpose as a tray to hold my handheld radios and GPS. They would slide out of the OEM tray when I hit a bump.
