We actually went with a dash cover to handle the UV damage, but its probably alot worse here than where you are. There are a ton of companies around (mopar didn't have it when I was looking to use my coupon last july, but probably by now...). IF you go this route, the only thing is - see if you can get swatches. The company we went with didn't have the exact color we needed and its more noticable than I thought when ordering, but too little time (or just laziness) to send it back.
