Annoying sunlight reflection off faux leather dashboard surface

[Colin E]

Does anyone else have trouble with early morning sunlight reflecting off the faux leather dash top on to the windscreen? I have laid a piece of black cotton fabric over the surface in front of the driver. Not the most elegant, but roblem sorted.

They sell nice looking dashboard mats on Ali express. Make sure you select the right hand drive one if you order.

Sunlight? what's that when its at home

I'm reliably informed you'll find it on the other side of the clouds

Interferes with reflections in dashcams too. My Soul EV has the centre round bit in view & I remember the 1st Jazz had what looked like a loo seat right in front of the driver's screen!

My Nextbase Dashcam has a rotatable polarising filter built in to avoid this.

I had the same problem with my Prius PHEV a few years ago.

Amazon product ASIN B083M6GPQK
I used this to cover the dash.

Also reflection off the aluminium in steering wheel.

@Colin E this is ideal to cool dashboard and reduce glare on dashcam, you can get different colour stitching. Ali express

Yep I got a dashboard cover for my MG5 with black border stitching for £13 on Ali express - good job but I needed more/better self adhesive Velcro fixing pads

I bought one of Aliexpress, black with red piping, once laid flat cured all problems with reflection, also I'm sure it makes it slightly warmer in winter.

I'd be worried about it retaining damp out of the air in the winter and causing condensation.

Polaroid sunglasses should get rid of the reflection.

 

[Bobbyboy]

Don't get out of bed until the early morning sunlight has gone, that's what I do

 

[MG22SEV]

I find the most annoying reflection is that of the bezel of the outermost air vent in the mirror.

I've had it on all winter and no problem with condensation at all

Be careful with it interfering with the passenger airbag in case of a crash

That. I can't say I've noticed the dash reflecting but the vents certainly do.

Tbh those mats are a bit 'Turkish taxi driver' for me too.

I agree do they do a matching box of tissues for the back?
