Comments about Dashboard Weather Station:
The clock is reliable and having a built in thermometer and hygrometer is a nice addition. However, the small dials for the thermometer and hygrometer are not installed straight, which detracts from the overall appearance of the item and there is no way to adjust them to make them align correctly. I called customer service when I received the first clock and they sent a replacement which had the same problem. This item would be very attractive if this defect were able to be corrected.

The trim fell off before I opened the package. They either didn't use enough glue or the glue was very poor quality. Had to reglue it myself.

Comments about Dashboard Weather Station:
this wonderful clock takes you back to the period when cars where cars. Very nostalgic, beautiful piece of work, and dials are the touch of perfection. My only problem so far is where to put it so I can enjoy it the most. Quality is outstanding, was very surprised by that. this is a piece you want to show off.
