Dashboard Glare - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

Turk2k5 · 02-06-2012, 07:04 PM

I get terrible glare on the windshield when driving coming off the top of the dash. Really makes driving in the sun a pita. Anyone else have this problem?

XSELLR8 · 02-06-2012, 07:14 PM

I've never really had too much of a problem with that. The shaker has taken a few cheap shots at my eyes though...

You don't armor all it or anything? THey do make a LOW Gloss cleaner, or you could put one of the those dashboard covers on.

Turk2k5 · 02-06-2012, 07:38 PM

Nope I have not put anything on it I think a dash pad might be in my future.

rcode99 · 02-06-2012, 07:45 PM

Never noticed any glare problem here.

I've never noticed much glare, and I use a cleaner that makes the dash shine. I've seen those dash rugs and no way I could use one of those.

No problem here.
How tall are you? maybe that has something to do with it.

np_mach1 · 02-07-2012, 08:27 AM

Yes I had glare. Bought some polarized sunglasses

Yes... every morning coming out of my neighbor hood there's a glare so bad I can't see the road and have to roll down my windows and follow the side of the street and just go by memory. and hope that nobody is walking their dog of anything... but it's all good!

Never really had that problem but being 6 foot 3 my head is inches away from the roof so that might be why

I use low gloss dressings as well, and also get a glare on mine at the right time of day. I am planning on getting one of those dash covers as well, just because I want to keep the dash nice and crack-free from the Florida sun
