Poverty Pony Dash Mat to reduce glare

[davidsteele1975]

Hello all! So I have an issue with my poverty pony specification '25 EcoBoost... Glare from the dashboard, specifically the shinier part of the dash closer to the wheel and not the more matte black soft touch section. I bought the car in September and I'd notice it occasionally, but now summer is approaching, well the sun in Texas jolly well appears to be high for 14 hours a day lol and I notice the glare all. the. time.

It's hard to take a picture of it because it only bothers me when I'm driving, but here's me avoiding using a drive-through lane because we British really struggle with the drive-through anything concept and I tried to annotate the shiny bit causing the glare.

This mat on Amazon was the first one I found and might do the job, but does anyone else suffer the same reflection glare issue and are there smaller mats that might fix the issue available?

Yes, same glare here on a GT. I thought about buying some black felt material and laying across the plastic section you are referring to.

Same, the glare can be bad.

Phew! I'm glad it's not just me then. Wait, actually I'm not glad it's not just me...

I'll hit up YouTube to see if anyone has reviewed a dash mat for the S650...

Same here.
What I found that helps is wearing polarized sunglasses.

 

[davidsteele1975]

Yes... That would help. And I've thought about getting sunglasses full stop, especially as the car has a sunglasses holder (I wear prescription lenses).

All of the mats I've found appear to deliberately exclude the shiny stuff, presumably as it looks pretty, or something..? Here's an image from a product listing on Amazon...

Have you guys considered Plasti Dip? It comes in matte colors. While you might be hestitant to use the spray inside the car, you can get it in liquid form too. And if you don't like the result, you just peel it off.

I'd never heard of "Plasti Dip" before a few minutes ago. Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out.
