Sungrabba Dash Mat to suit Holden Commodore VB, VC, VH, VK, VL (1978–1988)

A dash mat made for the Commodore VB, VC, VH, VK, VL

If you own a Holden Commodore VB, VC, VH, VK, VL, you already know how hard it is to find a good dash for one. Original pads from 1978 onwards crack along the top and around the demister vents once the vinyl dries out. This Sungrabba mat is shaped to the Commodore dash so it covers the top in one piece, keeps the sun off what's left of the original and looks tidy doing it.

The early Commodores, VB to VL, are now proper classics, and the VL in particular has a huge following.

This one is made for the Sedan built from January 1979 to December 1988, the Sedan & Wagon built from January 1979 to December 1988, and the Wagon built from January 1979 to December 1988. Part number DMHOL30. If you're not sure which you have, the build date on the compliance plate will tell you.

Glare, heat and cracking

The top of the dash can get hot enough in summer to be uncomfortable to touch, and over time that heat and UV break down the surface. With a mat over it, the dash stays shaded and the reflection that washes out the windscreen is gone. If your dash already has cracks, the mat hides them.

Black or grey, with or without stitching

Choose black or grey. Black is the popular pick and suits most interiors; grey can look better in a lighter cabin. Standard mats are finished in matching thread, or for $10 more we'll edge yours in silver, red, gold, blue, or pink stitching to tie in with the vehicle's colour or trim. There are photos on the custom trim page.

There's more than one version of this dash (VB, VC, VH, built Nov 1978 – Mar 1984; VK, built Mar 1984 – Mar 1986; VL, built Mar 1986 – Aug 1988). Pick the one that matches yours so the mat sits around the right vents, speakers or sensors.

Fitting it yourself

No tools needed. Wipe the dash clean, sit the mat in place, then stick the 4 hook Velcro sheets that come with it onto the dash near the corners and centre where the mat will cover them. Lower the mat and press it down over each one. It stays put but lifts off when you want to clean underneath. Avoid silicone dash sprays under the mat, because they stop the Velcro holding.
