Default Rear view camera mirror glare

I removed the targa top from my car and went for a drive. The glare in the rear view mirror makes it almost unusable. I adjusted the brightness and it was still the same. Anybody else noticed this issue?

I had the same issue and a fellow forum member mentioned that I should try pointing the mirror directly in my field of view. That solved it for me. We have a tendency of leaving it in a traditional rear view position which seems to contribute to the glare.

Point the mirror such that the glare is minimized. Unlike a real mirror, what is seen has nothing to do with where the mirror is pointing (until you flip it to the normal mirror mode).
