Maintaining your Protectomat dashmat is simple and ensures long-lasting performance and appearance. Crafted from our premium velour-style material, proper care will help maintain the appearance, fit, and long-term performance of your dashmat.

Routine Cleaning

• Vacuum Regularly: Use a soft brush attachment to remove dust and debris.
• Lint Removal: Use a lint roller to remove pet hair and fine particles.
• Detail Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush for vents and textured areas.

Spot Cleaning

• Spot Treat: Use a damp microfiber cloth with mild detergent.
• Blot Only: Do not scrub or soak the material.
• Rinse: Remove residue with a clean damp cloth.
• Dry Naturally: Air dry completely before refitting.

Important

• Do not machine wash
• Do not tumble dry
• Do not use harsh chemicals
• Do not iron

Preparation

• Clean the Dashboard: Ensure the dashboard surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, dirt, or polish before installation.

Positioning

• Align the Dashmat: Lay the dashmat in place and align all cut-outs, including vents, sensors, and speaker openings.
• Check Fitment: Ensure the mat is centred evenly and sits flush across the dashboard.

Securing the Dashmat

• Apply Fastening Tabs: Use the supplied hook-and-loop (Velcro) tabs on key areas such as corners, edges, and curved surfaces.
• Press Firmly: Once positioned, press the dashmat firmly onto the tabs to secure it in place.

Important Safety Note

• Airbag Compatibility: Ensure the dashmat is correctly positioned around any airbag panels and does not obstruct deployment zones.

Settling Period

• Allow to Conform: Minor creases may be present initially due to packaging.
• Natural Fit: Allow up to 7 days for the material to settle and conform to the dashboard.

Protectomat dashmats are fully airbag compatible and designed to integrate safely with modern vehicle safety systems. Each mat is precision-moulded to match the contours of your dashboard, including designated airbag deployment zones.

How It Works

• Engineered Design: Each dashmat incorporates specialised stitching, flaps, or cut-outs over the airbag area to ensure unobstructed deployment.
• No Interference: The premium velour material is lightweight and designed to safely yield under pressure, allowing airbags to deploy as intended.

Important Considerations

• Vehicle-Specific Fit: Always provide your vehicle’s exact make, model, year, and series to ensure correct fitment and airbag alignment.
• Avoid Universal Covers: Universal or poorly fitted dashmats may interfere with airbag deployment and should not be used.
