Default Dash glare problem solved

Had some Polarized Rx sunglasses made. Wotta difference! What's funny is that the screen covers for the A/C and radio appear colorized and sorta wavy like a 3D screen without the glasses, not blurry just weird colors. Luckily the gauges and the HUD are unaffected. At some angles the side windows have dozens of small shadowy sections but they don't hinder my vision. What's gone is that blinding dashboard glare in the windshield when going in and out of the shade in the tree lined twisties!

Actually, your solution [wearing sunglasses] solves most if not all glare problems.

Non polarized glasses didn't solve a thing.

The little dark spots you are seeing are called tempering marks , they are in all tempered glass and sometimes you can see them without polarized glasses .

But you really see them with polarized glasses

Didn't read the OP. I'll assume the simplest solution: sunglasses.

Whaddya mean you didn't read the original post? Apparently you didn't read any posts as I already said that simple sunglasses (didn't) solve the problem.
