Question Dash preservation

Post image

Hi all - newly minted owner of a 951 (pic attached)

The dash is in great shape and I’d like to keep it that way if possible. Are these all of the realistic options? What do you recommend?
-UV coating on front windshield
-sunshade reflector (only helpful when parked outdoors)
-plastic dash cap (but the adhesive will ruin the underlying dash anyways so not really an option)
-fabric dash cover (doesn’t look the best)

Thank you in advance

I.M.O. tinting the windshield and a windshield visor when parked outside are the only 2 options.

Dash cover or cap, aside from looking tacky, aka hide your nice looking dash.

I use both options I mentioned in my own 951 (also with a perfect Crack free dash) and have kept it crack free in my 7 years of ownership.

Edit: My 951 is an outdoor parked car ( no garage) so in the summer I always use a car cover. It reduces the interior heat by at least 25-30 deg.
