The dash on my Legacy is kinda shiny and when its sunny out it reflects onto my windshield causing glare and making my vision even worse. Any one know of anything to maybe dull it a little? Im just glad the last time I decided to use Armor All it was in the winter and not sunny. My dash was insanely bright after that, I cant image how bad it would be now.

Flock it. Or if you have a 95-99 Legacy I have a dashmat that I've been trying to get rid of for ages. You can have it for pocket change if you think it will work.

To get rid of the armoral glare,

2 cloths (towels)
just get a 1/2 gallon luke warm water,
add dish washing liquid (about the size of a quarter)
soak a cloth in it, squeeze.
lightly wipe dash and dry with another towel.

If its still has glare, it might be what your using on your windshield.


Oh, And Flock it??? :smt017 whatever that means :smt023

Polarized sunglasses. Available for as little as 5 bucks, they cut out glare, and protect your vision. I always keep a pair in my car for this exact purpose.

Not a great option if you wear glasses (like me). But, I have a set of granny over-the-glasses sunglasses I keep in my car in case of "emergency". Sometimes being able to see is more important than how you look.

Im not suggesting it, but you could tint your windshield %50.

Um.. You do realize that this thread is over 4 years old? Also, your (not a) suggestion is highly illegal in every US state and Canadian Provence?
