I use a dash cover that I purchased almost immediately after I purchased the car. It was detailed and the glare off the dash board was blinding driving into the morning sun. I purchased a dash cover with a HUD opening and it solved the problem immediately all the while protecting my dash from the sun. It was a great purchase for safety.

I couldn't see things like the hud and quite a few other things. They just filtered out too much stuff for me and my current vision. I wore polarized glasses for many years and loved them but can't any longer.
That's how they quit working for me.
There are many coatings now for glasses that reduce glare and I utilize that and it helps. I can see the hud now.

Glad you found your solution, but from what it seems like to me, the inability to see the HUD is a much smaller problem then driving 70mph with blinding glare.

There never was a blinding glare. Just a glare and I didn't like it.
Problem soon fixed!

That is the truth. Marketing made Armorall what it is. It really is no good as a protectant. Over time it causes more harm than good.
