Sunlight reflection on 300M dash

Anyone else have a problem with glare on top of the 300M dashboard??. Don't know if ours is a problem because someone got too happy with the Armorall or whether all of them are like that. Ours is two tone beige on the top of the dash. When the sun shines in brightly, it is a big problem. I even thought about putting a dull black cloth up there to improve the situation.

I have the same problem. It appears to be a design flaw, and I could see it being fatal. I have learned to live with it, I ignore it and look through it. You could wear polarized glasses when it is really bright. Don't wash your dash with anything that will make it shine more.

Same here, quite a problem when I ride directly towards the sun.

As with several other inconveniences I live with it. This car looks so good that it's worth it. (like the shampoo commercials, you know "because I'm worthless...")

Is a dash mat an option?

Light colored dashboards will reflect glare back to the windshield.

Same thing happens when you put something on a dark dashboard (papers,
maps, etc).

You're not going to solve it by applying some coating to the dash
surface.

Maybe wearing polarized glasses will help.
