Default C7 windshield reflection

The angle of the windshield on my 2016 z-51 gives a reflection of the dashboard, making it difficult to see, especially is bright light. Anyone else have this problem? Suggestions? This is the first post under a new username. I had a 1968 convertible with posts on this forum going back ten years, but I can't get my old login to work.

I think the only thing to do is to ensure you don't use shiny dash protectant. Maybe use a dash cover.

2016 Z51, 3LT, Roadster, here. I just use a dry microfiber towel to get the dust off. I do not have that problem.

Default reflection

I went to the previous post and only one reply got the problem diagnosed. It has nothing to do with what you cleaned the dash with. The inside of the tinted windshield is acting like a mirror. Depending on how tall the driver is it will reflect to something based on the angle of the windshield to the driver's eye. If I sit up very tall or scrunch down very short the reflection is of nothing in the car so it is not a problem. I also have the transparent tinted plastic roof, so the interior of the car always has extra illumination making the dash show up brighter. There is no problem at night since nothing on the dash is bright enough to show up.
