I did not suggest tinting the whole windshield, just a sun visor strip, that its usually tall strip that runs across the top of the windshield.

 

^ You can see in my pic that the reflection is from the dash. The sun visor won't do anything in the dash area.

 

I second this!!! This improves it a ton!! The speaker grill basically disappears. A must in sunny Texas. I wear some $15 Foster Grant ones from Wal-Mart... Stylish, yet cheap enough that I can throw them around...

 

Why do you think a sun visor, won't do anything to help sun glare?

Sun shines from the top off the roof, a windshield is slanted, so even a small 4-5" strip will provide more covering the its size.

 

Because this is not sun glare, this is a sun reflection. The sun light come from anywhere in the front hitting the dash and it reflect off of the windshield. Your fix, it the sun still hit the dash and reflect off of the windshield.

Thanks for trying though. I think the carpet idea is the best. I need to do some homework on it.

 

here is using polarized glass... it does help but you can see it's still very visible.

 

I noticed this to. I actually used armor all wipes which I never do because I don't like the shine/greasy fell/look. I did remove it, but I still get the reflection depending on which direction I'm driving. i was thinking for a dash pad, or sun visor strip. I don't always notice as I usally drive with sun glasses on, but I'll see how it is this afternoon.

 

I have the same glare in my 08 GS350... I happened to have a towel in the car when the reflection hit. it was very dangerous here in Atl with these idiot drivers. I put the towel on the dash and the glare vanished.. its not Armor All or any kind of dash cleaner. its the design of the dash board material... im going to get a carpet cover for my dash. its the best solution for that glare...Tinting the windshield wont help. as I have the same issue in my Olds Aurora and I tinted that cars windshield with 60% M3 crystalline. and it didnt help...

 

Oh wow. Major bump from the dead. haha. I'm also having this issue. I thought it was from the aftermarket windshield but it sounds like it's also happening on the OEM windshield. It's really bad. I don't push any protectant on my dash because of this problem.

 

 

#MeToo. What can you do :lol: I guess you can throw down some towel.

 

I had my windshield tinted 35% at it takes 85-90% of the glare aware as well as the glare of headlights at night but it's not dark enough to impact visibility and it's (the tint) near impossible to notice unless you're specifically looking for it.

 

I put the suede dash mat on mine from covercraft, big difference and didn't look that bad imo

 

Sun glare:
Tint option:
I'm happy with a very light layer of tint that does not negatively impact visibility but resolves the issue. I would rather go this route than the much more dangerous option of being randomly/completely blinded while driving . As I said, no one can even tell it's there (including yearly inspections) but the glare is gone. Majority of states did away with registration/inspection stickers on windshields a while ago.

 

I was researching on a polarized window film for the front windshield. It's pretty much the same concept as a polarized sunglasses. Someone on the M45 forums has it on their windshield and pointed out that the MB S-class has the polarizing windshield glass for that same reason. It gives off a light blue hue but it's clear from inside the car. http://forums.nicoclub.com/finally-h...t-t615133.html

I'm going to find a place in Dallas that has the polarized film and give it a try.
