Any tricks/products to reduce windshield glare? Clean windshield + Vinylex'd dash = major reflection/glare with midday driving. Thanks.

Alcantra,

If I could find someone that didn't want my first born to do it I would.

There's a reason why dashs have a mat finish. Clean off the vynilex or whatever it is.

It's really bad on the plastic dash caps.

Just got my Serengetis too, for many other reasons than the dashboard! Actually the dashboard didnt even factor into it.

Lexol Vinylex. It's not Armor All shiny, just clean. Previous owners have used it and there's not a crack in the rubber/plastic anywhere on the car. The glare is way more noticeable than with my 911. I think it's a function of the slope of the windshield, and angle of the dash. I thought there might be a product that can be applied to the windshield.

I have the same glare issues with my early (round pod stylee!) 944 dash. I have tried cleaning it but ultimately it doesnt appear to be a matt surface to start with so that didnt work. I'm now considering covering it.
