Horrible Glare in Windshield!!! HELP!!!!

[bjustice25]

Has anyone else had a problem with the dashboard glaring into their windshield? I have a 2001 Camaro and whether the dash is clean or covered in dust it still glares in my windshield and blocks my line of vision!! I can hardly even see the road! It gets better if I drive through a shadow, but once the sun is back so is the glare. Can someone please help me??
I'm sorry if i put this in the wrong category. Please let me know where to put it if this isn't right. Thanks in advance for your help!!!!

You may need to clean the inside of the windshield or if your using armorall or something similar switch to the low gloss version. I know I once used high gloss and all I could see was a reflection of my pretty dash even after it got dirty lol. But clean the inside of the windshield because I know when mine gets dirty, the glare is horrible.

Thank you so much!! [img]graemlins/bowdown.gif[/img] I have been really scared to drive because I'm a pretty bad driver anyway. The last thing I need is another obstacle! ;)
Thanks again!

you might try a extremely light tint, barley noticable?

Illegal in most states.

You could always buy a dash mat.

Polarized sunglasses solve this. I don't drive daytime without them.

Get a $10 Walmart pair, and if you like it, maybe get a good pair.

I had the same problem, what it was like some sort of haze or something on my inside winshield from the Armor All i would put on the dash.

I wiped the inside of my windshield with windex and it no longer glares.

Yep, polarized sunglasses are teh win. Make sure your windshield is clean and you use a low-gloss vinyl dressing.

You will need a few things to fix this...

1) Brick
2) Trash bag to pick up glass

Or you could stop using Armorall on the dash when I use it I can see a reflection of my dash in my windshield it drives me nuts.

I agree. I wear Oakley A-Wires and keep a set of cheapies in the glove box for victims... er passengers [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

i have a $300 pair of sunglasses (supposedly polarized) and i still see it. i cleaned the windshield with windex and it is a little better, so i am going to try the low gloss armor-all next. i haven't really had time to go to the store lately though. i'll let everyone know if this fixes it! if not, does anyone have any suggestions on what i should trade my car in on??!! thanks everyone!!

"you might try a extremely light tint, barley noticable?"

"Illegal in most states."

every one knows this. but if it is very light, which any tint place will have, no one will know, window tint on our cars is illegal in most states too, but lots of us have it

if not, does anyone have any suggestions on what i should trade my car in on??!! thanks everyone!!

dont trade your car in because of windshield glare, wipe the dash with a damp cloth to remove protectant (armorall).

One thing you can do if cleaning the windshield doesn't help is keep a black towel, shirt or something dark colored to lay over your dash that doesn't reflect light. Helps mine all the time.
