| Noise level | < 35 dB at 1 meter |
| Control interface | CAN bus, LIN bus, or standalone button |
| Auto-deploy sensor | Cabin temperature + ambient light (optional) |
| Weight addition | +60 - 90 g over manual variant |
The DashArmor screen is a three-layer composite engineered for UV rejection, heat reflection, durability, and compact rollability.
Sun-facing reflective surface. Reflects 97% of infrared radiation and blocks 99%+ UV-A and UV-B rays.
12 - 25 micronsStructural backbone providing tear resistance and dimensional stability. Rated for 10,000+ roll/unroll cycles.
100 - 200 micronsDashboard-facing surface. Non-abrasive contact layer that prevents scratching and provides minor insulation.
50 - 100 micronsABS plastic or polycarbonate shell, color-matched to A-pillar interior trim. UV-stabilized to prevent yellowing over the life of the vehicle.
Available in light gray, black, and tan.
Anodized aluminum tube providing a lightweight, corrosion-resistant spool for the screen material.
18 - 22 mm diameter by vehicle class.
Stainless steel constant-force negator spring providing smooth, consistent retraction force across the full deployment range.
Rated for 15,000+ cycles.
Silicone fluid rotary damper controlling retraction speed to eliminate snapping and reduce noise during operation.
Tuned per vehicle platform.
Extruded aluminum profile (8 - 12 mm height) with embedded N42-grade neodymium disc magnets spaced at 150 mm intervals. Textured rubber grip surface for manual pull deployment. Magnets engage with flush-mounted receptor plates in the dashboard for taut, vibration-resistant anchoring.
50 - 120 g depending on vehicle width.
