futurewa Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Ok Guys, the topic title probably says it all. Under certain lighting conditions my dash reflects quite strongly in the windscreen and reduces visibility/ is annoying. Is this an inherent issue with R32's(Dash shape & windscreen angle)? Any good fixes without resorting to a 80's style dash carpet? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/196763-how-to-prevent-reflection/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spunky Munky Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I would suggest you get your car's windows tinting (if it's no already)... darkest legal would be good... then on a really sunday day... wind your windows up.. that's about all I can suggest...

r32woohoo Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 i get this problem too. it does hinder visibility alot when all you can see is your own dash in the windscreen. but given the angle of the windscreen i dont think theres much that can be done about it unless someone has some super awesome ideas Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/196763-how-to-prevent-reflection/#findComment-3521534 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferni Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Stop using that armorall crap on your dash, anything that makes it shiny will make it reflect, just clean it by wiping over it with damp (water) cloth/chamois.

4drftn Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 you can buy trim care cleaners that give a non gloss appearance but still gives UV protection, armour all has non reflective cleaners as well as polyglaze.

75coupe Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 this happens in all cars... and it doesn't even matter about tinting or what you use on the dash, in fact you can even have carpet there and it will still show a reflection, your glass is shiny... my 22 year old ute gets this... what can you do glass is shiny stuff.. maybe matt the inside of the your glass with clear matt... hehehe Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/196763-how-to-prevent-reflection/#findComment-3522944 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rekin Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 wearing polarized sunglasses remove any reflection you see in the window. How Do Polarized Lenses Work?Light reflected from surfaces like a flat road or smooth water is generally horizontally polarized. This horizontally polarized light is blocked by the vertically oriented polarizers in the lenses. The result: a reduction in annoying and sometimes dangerous glare.

NA_Goodness Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 2 ideas for you: 1. Trim your dash in expensive leather and put a TV screen in it so when you are driving, you can admire your beautiful dash and watch a DVD. 2. Take your front window out and wear those sexy goggles like a WW1 fighter pilot. Problem solved!!

Mr Eps Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 remember to grow a long moustache and talk like a 1930's mobster as you go or remove your dash completely.

vipv35 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 flocking is something lots of race/rally cars use to reduce glare. once done, it makes the dash look similar to suede and relatively cheap Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/196763-how-to-prevent-reflection/#findComment-3595441 Share on other sites More sharing options...
