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.

I believe there is some truth to what you are saying. Is it that I've noticed the glare and now I can't stop looking at it. LoL

polarized sunglasses eliminates the problem completely for me. FWIW I am finding the glare from other vehicles at night wanting me to wear driving glasses at night. Part of getting older?

Sunglasses are not the real fix. You need to fix the cause of the issue. I'm thinking something like this perhaps...

I was at the mall earlier today and the car parked next to me had this very same dash except in pink, I wish I had taken a photo. Even the steering wheel was covered, I don’t know how she is able to drive.
