Here's a 997 sand beige picture on an overcast day.

There clearly is a reflection with sand beige, as well as other colors (more so with the beige). However, it's only a problem if you consciously stare at the reflection on your windshield, rather than the road ahead. After this thread started I actually looked for the reflection in my sand beige cabrio, and sure enough I found it. It had always been obviously, but I never "saw" it, so it didn't bother me. It still doesn't, because I'm not looking at the windshield, but further afield. I hope that makes sense.

Hi. I had a 997.2 sand beige C2. It was a beautiful interior but the reflection on the windshield could be annoying at times (I guess it depended on the sunlight, time of day, etc). For whatever reason I even had nicknamed it 'tiger teeth'...I have upgraded to a 4GTS with black interior and don't miss it at all.

You won't get that same angle from the drivers seat.

I have never noticed any reflection while driving so this thread seems strange to me. I won't look for it either, for fear that if I do see it I won't be able to get past it. I have a sand beige full leather cab, which according to the thread is the worst offender. I don't see it.

Polarized sunglasses... just use 'em!

I'm with you there, except I have a coupe w/ full leather. There is a very faint reflection, but considering I look a mile down the road, I never see it. Last year I put on 20000km, and never I notice an irritating or bothersome reflection.

Does anyone know if tinting the windows will decrease windshield glare/reflection?

Maybe a very light tint on just the front windshield will completely cut down the glare (I know it's illegal). Just a hypothetical question.

I have all my windows tinted to about 35%, front included... There is a reduction in glare but make sure that your tint installer uses a high quality tint. They even have polarized tint now.

I live in Minnesota no problem with my sand beige leather interior. Maybe if you live in a southern state it maybe different.

The top pic was taken with no filter, the bottom thru my polorized sunglasses. If you don't wear polorized shades - then yeah, there is a glare when its sunny.

Sand beige 997.2 now, Savannah Beige 996 previously.

Never even thought about glare!

This reflections happens with coupe as well or it is much stronger on cabrios?

Gruson

Yes, it still happens in the coupe, just not as bad.

I test drove the 997 with the beige and decided then I would never own a beige interior. It was very distracting IMO and I don't want to have to wear sunglasses all the time...

I've got the beige/cashmere interior and no complaints here but again I wear polarized sunglasses...
