Package contents – what you’ll find in the box.
Your dashboard cover comes with everything you need to install it in minutes. Each section contains 1 clamp, 1 thumb screw and bolt, four 2x8mm screws to hold each hinge to the clamp, and two pre‑installed steel shafts for the hinges. Just line up the holes, screw in the screws, and clamp it to your dashboard.

Troubleshooting
The panel lids are not aligning with the storage compartments.
Ensure the clamp is fully seated on the dashboard rim before tightening the thumb screw. Small adjustments to the hinge position can be made by slightly loosening the thumb screws and realigning the panel with the storage unit edge.
The thumb screw is difficult to thread into the nut.
Confirm that the M4 nut is properly seated within its hexagonal housing inside the clamp. Use your thumb to apply slight counter-pressure while starting the thread to ensure correct alignment and prevent cross-threading.
The clamp feels loose even after tightening.
Tighten the M4 thumb screw firmly by hand. Avoid using tools or pliers, as our industrial 3D-printed housing is optimized for hand-tight application. If looseness persists, ensure the clamp is pushed flush with the back lip of the storage compartment
How should I clean the anti-glare panels?
Use a clean microfiber cloth with a small amount of screen cleaner or mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive sponges, paper towels, or harsh chemicals that could scratch the surface or degrade the specialized matte finish.
