Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone has found a way to minimize the reflection glare from a very light-colored dash (such as Luxor Beige) in the windshield on a bright day. Seems like under these conditions, the dash reflection is somewhat distracting in terms of forward visibility.

Any advice will be helpful.

Thanks,
- Sanjeev

Polarized sunglasses.

Polarized ray bans. (Or any other brand). No glare problem. Boom.

Don't know if you already bought or ordered a car yet but I would skip a car that has a 100% Luxor Beige dash and opt for the Black/Beige interior instead.

A few loaner cars I've driven in the past were all Luxor or some other light color and it was ruff on the eyes in direct sun.

Something like this:

I dunno... the two-tone would be cool but I DD the luxor in CA sun and at the right angle the reflection is noticeable, but it's never bothered me. I only wear good sunglasses though.

All,
Thanks for the suggestion on polarized sunglasses.
Since I wear corrective glasses, I will need to look into getting those with a prescription. Before I do, another quick question for those of you that use polarized lenses in a Porsche 991

Is there any degradation of the LCD and/or TFT display screens?

I have used polarized sunglasses in the past (other cars, Audi, BMW) and had to til my head up to 45 deg. to avoid a blackout of the dot-matrix and other electronic screen displays.

Thanks for any info. I am searching for my next car (991) and I love the look of the Luxor Beige interior, but drove one in the sun, and found the screen reflection distracting.

FWIW - the current Porsche online configurator puts up a disclaimer about light colored interiors and screen reflections, so it is certainly acknowledged by the manufacturer as a visibility factor.

No issues with the LCD or TFT screen while wearing polarized. I wear all brands of polarized too (Maui Jims, Rayban, Prada and Versace) and all different colored shades.

I have Luxor Beige on my Cayenne, and with polarized sun glasses, I have no problem with reflection, and navigation screen looks just fine, as well as the windows. In the future, I would go with a darker dash though. I wear Warby Parker prescription sunglasses (you can purchase them online) -- they are good quality, polarized, and cost approximately $150. Easy solution to this problem.

I've had a Luxor beige dash for 3 years and the glare had never occured to me before

Probably because you have polarized sunglasses. See post above.

sanjeev...I use cheap $15 Wal-Mart sunglasses that go over my prescription lenses, because my prescription changes so often (and, yes, I'm cheap! ) Even with those, the glare on my beige dash is not an issue. Likewise, I can see the TFT display on my Cali well with my el cheapo sunglasses. Best of luck in your Porsche hunt...T

I get the same reflection with espresso dash. The alu trim on the side windows. Glass roof, even with shade closed allows light inside cabin and angle/shape of glass lends itself to that. My guess.
