Sungrabba Dash Mat to suit Nissan Navara D21, D22 (1986–2015)

A dash mat made for the Navara D21, D22

Dashes from the 1980s weren't made for 10-plus years of Australian sun. On the Nissan Navara D21, D22 the dash top goes brittle, fades and eventually cracks, usually first near the windscreen where it's hottest. A Sungrabba mat covers the full top, hides any cracks you've already got and keeps it from getting worse.

The D21 and D22 Navaras are simple, tough utes, and the D22 stayed on sale here for a long time. Lots are still working.

This one is made for the Dual Cab built from January 1986 to December 2015, and the Single Cab built from January 1986 to December 2015. Part number DMNIS11. If you're not sure which you have, the build date on the compliance plate will tell you.

Glare, heat and cracking

A bare dash reflects onto the inside of the windscreen. Early morning and late afternoon, with the sun low, that reflection can make the road hard to see. A mat absorbs the light instead of bouncing it back. It also shades the dash top from direct sun, which is what dries the surface out and starts the cracking in the first place.

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 (D21, built Jan 1986 – Jan 1994; D21, built Feb 1994 – Jul 1999; D22 – Top Glovebox, built Aug 1999 – Feb 2015; D22 – With passenger airbag, built Aug 1999 – Feb 2015). Pick the one that matches yours so the mat sits around the right vents, speakers or sensors.

How it goes on

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.

Sungrabba dash mats are made in Australia by No Bull Accessories and carry a 10 year warranty. This one is in stock and ships free anywhere in Australia, and like the rest of our range it's matched to the Navara by build date.
