Reflection

[Tcar]

Use polarized sunglasses.

I had a used 986 with a light gray dash. It was terrible (not as bad as tan.)

Had a good upholsterer dye the top half of the dash a 'Satin' black. Huge difference.

I was wondering if maybe I could dye the top of the dash black, but I'm scared I will mess it up.

Tcar, could you please post a couple of pictures of your two tone dash? It sounds like a neat idea!

The sun is shining bright today, I have my sunglasses on and I’m going for a drive to see if they defeat the reflections.

Any light colored dash is going to cause reflections on the glass in every car on the road today.

Black dashes are probably the least reflective.

The solution is to remove the glass on that Lawsuit plaintiffs car, once again reaffirming that a hammer is the solution to all problems.

Personally I chose to act like an intelligent human being that has evolved past the caring of his mothers bossom, and bought some polarized sunglasses, but alas, now its hard to see the climate control readings due to the polarization.

As one acquires wisdom it becomes very apparent that all solutions are a compromise of some form or another.

I have a beige dash and never noticed a reflection, but I always wear Costas

Martha, I have a gray dash...FWIW, I'm 6'3 and and at normal driving/seating position, I see the speakers reflecting more than the dash. If I raise the seat back to more of a vertical position, I see more of the dash...If I lower the seat back/recline, I see much less of anything. Perhaps you can tinker with your seat position to find the least distracting position.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

I drove it today while wearing sunglasses and the reflective image is still there just as bad as I remember. However while the image is still there it doesn’t seem as scintillating or gleaming when I’m wearing sun glasses. I don’t know how to explain it, its just easier on the eyes somehow. Sunglasses definitely helped.

ArizonaDan… I have tried different seat positions and some are less distracting than other, however I am obese and I am limited on how much I can change the seating positions. As Dan said I mostly see the vents and speakers and the rest of the dash not so much. If I cannot find a manufactured cover I may make one of my own design, I think it needing to be less than half as wide (front to back) as the ones I’ve seen online.
