Dash Glare / Windscreen reflection

[JLW]

Hi Guys

I'm guessing every single one of you has the same issue here, but wondered if anyones tackled it effectively. expect for the flocking or Upholstery route, purely as I know these both work to get rid of the glare but I can't justify the cost ... just yet.

Any tips or tricks, it seems to be in the worst place possible ( right in the centre of the drivers view )

thanks,

Jordan.

Sun glasses??

You could try this stuff - it comes in A4 or 1m square sheets and is sticky back so you can cut down neatly to the size you need. I use it to make carpets in some models - it's not as refined as flocking but it's a cheap and easy solution in the mean time and looks okay

lol, either your being funny or haven't understood the point, I'm guessing not the latter.
The glare on the windscreen that reduces visibility in a certain spot because of the reflection of the dash.

Yes JD that could work really well mate, if bought in a 1m sheet you could cut out a nice section and stick to the offending part of the dash well. Might
be worth a shot actually.

Use a cleaning product that leaves a matte finish, that will help.

^ this. The dash is generally shiny but first try a all purpose cleaner to clean the dash then use a dressing that leaves a matte finish, wipe off immediately.

I was using some of that grippy mesh stuff. Get a large roll from wilkinsons and just trim it to fit the dash top. I wouldn't say i liked the look but it didn't offend me either. I used dark grey.

I am now planning on making a cover for the top of the dash out of some alcantara i got laying around.

I just realised I linked to the non-sticky version! Sorry. They have the sticky one from the same seller though, d'oh

Which is probably not helping the cause at all.

Indeed, clues in the name there!

Ach yeah man it is such a pain!!!!! Some sunny days I really struggle to see the road properly.

I even wondered about a quick dusting of black abs plastic spray..... getting desperate lol.

Good suggestion with matt finish I think I'll give that a go

I use polarised sun glasses, the glare just vanishes.

Had a cheap pair that cost about £30, another pair that cost about £60 and some Oakleys. All worked very well, the colour of the tint and angle of the polarisation make a big difference too.
