Everyone has seen the burn marks on your dust cover over the instrument panel from the canopy glass caused by the sun when it hits at the right angle. Mine was really nice. It was covered in a sinthetic black leather. Anyway, I have already recovered it once and tried to be really careful with it. In short, it has about 20 or so burn marks in it in 2 years. I am looking for a black material (or could be painted black) that will not burn that is thin that two 8" patches could be made to protect the sides of the glare shield where the sun is hitting it. Basically I would use an adhesive to glue down these patches where the sun hits to stop the burn holes... Any ideas?
