Dazzled by dashboard.

I've been Money Tipped!
I have a upgraded a few months ag from my old banger to a 2001 picasso, it has a very large dashboard and is creamy in colour.

I have not had a problem until now, but when the sun shines i am getting a reflection of the dash on the window, it does'nt sound that bigger deal but i cant see didly squat!

As the dashboard is big the reflection is also big, i cant see out of the bottom half of the window.

Does anyone else have this problem?

    It's quite common. The only real cure is to let it get filthy or to have "flocking" applied to it.

    Our Aygo is the same - polarising sunglasses stop the problem

    Don't worry this will be a short term problem in this country ;)

    You could try looking for some "matt" dashboard cleaner. Or perhaps put a non slip mat across the top, you can usually buy big rolls of it for about £1.
