Yes, truck bedliner - matte finish, tough, and non-skid.
Purchased a several years old RV with a matte black painted glareshield. It was pretty scratched up. Touching it up would have been quite noticeable as we couldn't get all the way to the edges with the slider windscreen in place. Ended up with a fabric covering from one of the usual RV suppliers. The supplier advised against vinyl because of outgassing which would coat the inside of the windscreen. It looks nice and my sunglasses, etc. don't slide around. If I were starting from scratch, I'd coat the glareshield with bedliner before the windscreen went on.

What he saidI got piece of the velcro fabric from Bill Repucci and used double-side tape to hold it in place (should be easy to remove should I decide to do that). Then used a piece of rubber edging (similar to the wing root rubber) from McMaster-Carr for the edging. Put a bit of RTV in the groove and pushed it in place and it seems to be holding fine after ~5 years.

Bret, I fretted over this dilemma for way too long as I have a couple of smiling rivets up there I wanted to hide! First, I painted flat black. Then I bought a nice piece of vinyl and cut off a small piece and lit it with a match, It burned like crazy emitting a putrid heavy black smoke! Then I bought a nice piece of the soft side of a Velcro material and was going to install it later (it probably burns the same way) but to be honest, the flat black paint looks so good, I just cant see adding more flammable weight. I have the Classic Aero Glare Shield Trim and it looks really good with the flat black paint. I've been having so much fun flying, I haven't even noticed those couple of smileys up there since that first flight!
hmmmmm, hey guys, for those of you building, and I hear the words...."spray glue" just wanted to say that in 5-10 years, you may want/need to change that dashpad, and it seems like it would be no fun at all. ( with the windshield IN!)
just my experience, but it takes very little, maybe a couple of squares of thin doublefaced tape or velcro... here and there, to hold it in position, especially if you have some kind of edge pad.
Just trying to save you some grief down the road!
mine accumulates an amazing amount stuff, and it's nice at annual time, to just lift it out, shake it off, and put it back in.
