That looks ideal, how is it fixed? I wouldn't want anything permanently stuck down. Another advantage, I presume anyway, is the reduced reflection in the windscreen, with the shiny plastic it can be quite disconcerting in bright sunlight.

You are quite right - zero reflections!

It comes with some small squares of self adhesive velcro on the back - these stick down to the dash and the cover can be removed or repositioned as you like. However, it is so well tailored Im not sure that it needs these - it simply sits in place with sliding around. The last one I had I didnt bother with the velcro tabs. In any event the self adhesive velcro is easy enough to remove.

I will try to remember to take some more pictures when I get home this evening.

Here are some more pictures - the last one shows the little Velcro tabs that stick on to the old dash and grip the underside of the cover

Hope this helps









Cheers
Ian
