How would that effect deployment of the passenger side air bag?

There are slits over the passenger side air bag location so that it does not obstruct any possible deployment. I have had this same brand of dash mats on previous cars in the past, and I have been hit head on by two drunk drivers in separate incidents and these mats were not an issue when my accidents took place. Air bags worked as intended and dash mats in both previous cars were still intact.

Not my liking... feel like I fell asleep and woke up in 1972.
This one is actually a Velour fabric.
To each there own, but down here in Texas when temps can reach 105 for a few consecutive days and the heat build up with windows closed in direct sun light can reach 130 degrees sitting in a parking lot. So a mat down here can be an small investment to give extra protection from the intense summer's and sunlight and slow your dash from possibly cracking.

How does this help with the heat issue exactly?

It prevents the heat from penetrating deep into the dashboard and heating up the A/C ducts, so when you get in and turn on the A/C it cools down faster. Also stops the UV from destroying your dashboard.

I have moved to a Sun Shield insulated panel custom cut to the exact shape of my windshield, it rolls up and I put it in the back seat while driving, I have found it works better. Since all my other windows are tinted, the sun shield covers the entire windshield eliminating almost all sun heat from the front, held in place by the visors in the down position. Very effective. Everyone here in central AZ uses them.

303 Aerospace Protectant also helps with the UV issue, has a nice look to it too. My dashboard's finish was literally starting to peel within a few weeks in Cali. It should add even more protection on top of what you have if you're interested!

I bought mine at the dealer, Arrowhead Honda, Bell Road Peoria, AZ they have a huge parts dept with lots of great stuff, it was $29.95 + tax; $32.38 inc tax and it is just like this one on Amazon,
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...id=1458359491&ref_=sr_1_1&s=automotive&sr=1-1
it is silver one the outside and white on the back and has a velcro tie band that keeps it rolled up when not in use. The edge is a sewn finished black edge. I take in the house and clean it with glass cleaner about once a month. They last for years. I think I've had one for the last six or eight cars and since they are custom cut for that car's windshield shape I always leave it with the car, kinda like a floor mat. Hope that helps. If you want the exact maker of the one I have which my dealer sells just let me know. Maybe Arrowhead would sell you and and ship UPS??? Mine is the best fit one I have ever had, no skimping on size.
