I have a 2001 camaro and my dash glares up into my windshield and blocks my line of vision. I can hardly see to drive!! Does anyone else have this problem?? Can someone please help me fix this before I go crazy??!! I have t-tops, but the covers are on, so I know it's not reflecting or anything. Please help :(
Thanks for your help!! Oh, and please let me know if I posted this in the wrong place. I'm a rookie!! ;)

I'm only 17, and I don't consider myself to know a whole lot about car issues, but I seem to have this problem the most during the summer in sunlight when I use a very high shine dash cleaner (like Armor-All Ultra Shine).
I love how it shines the interior of my car, it's the best product I've used so far, but gives me horrible dash glare.
I don't think there's a whole lot to do to change this, because the way the Firebird/Camaro window slants, I think it gives a pretty good access to glare.
Depending on your polish, you may want to consider changing if it's that big of a problem. I kinda just learned to cope with it.

Thanks for your help. Someone else just told me to clean the inside of the windshield really well and then switch to low-gloss armor-all just on the dash. You may want to try it, too. He said it works really well for him. I'm going to try it this evening, because I can't see through it. I drive like **** anyway, so I need to make it as easy as possible for myself!

Do you have leather? if you use armour all the sun might be heating it up into a gaseous form and then it rises and sticks to the windshield, couple that with dusty conditions and it acts as an adhesive... leather interior can also give off a fume that coats windows.... i just cleaned mine last night, much better this morning, its just the fumes... either no more armoral or deal with the junk... i believe that low gloss armor all will still cause fumes, its the sun heating up the stuff all over your dash... i just recently put armorall all over the top of the dash all the way to where it meets the glass and i had terrible glare, now i have realised... lol good luck

If you have to use armor all or ANY kind of plastic protectant with shine, just wipe it with a damp cloth after you let it sit for a bit and it will reduce the shine. Next time u use armor all, don't put too much on the towel either, I put very little and it creates a low sheen in the interior, if I did too much, I just wipe it with a damp towel.

Here's how you fix that problem, get a really dark pair of sunglasses. I like Oakleys. [img]smile.gif[/img]
I can't do without Armor-All, it shines the interior too well. :D

thanks everyone! i don't have leather in this camaro. my SS did though and i didn't really notice any difference. it all sucks! i got really mad this weekend because i couldn't see at all, so i threw a shirt up there (girls keep crap like that in their back seats! ;) ) and it made a huge difference!!! i wouldn't even think of leaving a shirt in my dash, but it was great for the time being. someone should invent one of those carpety little cover things that isn't TACKY!! i don't think that's possible though. oh, about the soapy water cleaning, do you think that dries the dash out? i use one of those screens when i park it, but i don't want to mess up the dash. and i have some REALLY dark glasses, but i still see the dang glare!! i think it's something i will have to live with.

Really dark glasses aren't what you need...you need polarized sunglasses.
Why exactly did you feel the need to start the same topic in 2 different forums within 3 minutes of each other and keep replying the same thing to both.
