Ok, I give. The salad comment was too much. My boss is going to get
mad if he sees me rolling around laughing too often.
Both my 65 MGBs had a black vinyl film between the dash and the
windshield, the same material as used on the later cars. I asked our
upholstery expert what it was called, he suggested "black vinyl film",
so much for experts! The stuff is vinyl without the cotton backing. I
tried running without it on my race car and have real problems with
reflection in the screen as per Larry. For my street car I bought
regular vinyl from a cloth store. So far it has held up to 7 years of
California sun and condensation.
