As everyone Super owner knows, anything you put on a Super dash board will slide off on to the floor because there is no edge to hold things on the dash. A long time ago I remember that there was an accessory (after market probably) that could be stuck on to the dash edge to keep things from sliding off the dash pad. It was made of the same type of material as the dash and had the same dash texture. It was about 1 inch wide and long enough to fit between the speedo cluster and the right hand vent window defroster. Does anyone else remember these things or have you seen them?

I have one sitting on my desk that I never used when I actually had a dashboard Smile. Could probably cut it to fit. Got it at a trade show awhile back.

Found this on Google. I'm sure there are others out there.
