Windshield glare from dashboard

[hoodscoops]

Does anyone know way to get rid of the glare on the windshield from top of the infotainment screen? I cant be the only one that gets them

You are not alone! At the right (wrong) sun angle that dash really reflects!

Polarized sunglasses exist for this exact reason. Or just put some matte black vinyl on the back of the infotainment.

50% tint on the windshield, glare gone. Could probably even go 70%, just enough to block out the glare

Not tryna argue but with 50% tint I certainly still get the glare. Obviously though, not as bad as if I had no tint. I will say I hardly ever notice the glare unless the sun hits it just right. And I don’t gotta wear shades every time it’s sunny outside. Wouldn’t go any darker though for obvious safety reasons

Matte vinyl should help with that but make sure there are no vents back there for air flow so you don't block anything
i never checked behind so i don't know if there are vents or not

Your eye angle with relation to the reflection's incident angle is part of the issue. Personally, I like a more upright driving position hence the seat is as high as it'll go (I'm nearly 6 foot and still have good headroom). I can't say I've ever been annoyed by the reflection, and I have no tinting applied.

Ceramic Window Tint will help, but wouldn't go any lower than 70%

Probably why I have never noticed it. Always have sunglasses on anytime I am outside.

Drives me crazy as well. Polarized sunglasses (prescription) don't seem to work for me. Only happens when the sun is in a certain position in the sky. Other times it's not a problem.

No tint, polarized clip-ons do it for me.

I really haven't noticed a problem with glare, but like you, I like an upright position. I do wear polarized sunglasses whenever I am outdoors, so that probably is a big part of why it doesn't bother me. Ever since I had cataract surgery, my eyes have been very sensitive to sunlight. Glenn

I’m 6’4, and notice on bright days I can see a perfect reflection of the honeycomb top of the dash right in my eyeline. I did pick up polarized sunglasses recently but the weather hasn’t been great. I’ll have to test that out to see if it fixes the reflection of the dash in the windshield
