If you have a C8 with the tan dash pad, you must be wondering if there is a solution for removing the glare, other than sun glasses.
Replace the dash pad that covers the heads up display, with a black dash pad with tan thread. Cost is $376.00. Installation takes five minutes. You need the plastic tools for removing the pad....in expensive version of a small crowbar.

I have the 3LT natural dipped (tan) interior and I don’t have this problem, or at least I never noticed this glare that a few people speak of. A solution looking for a problem. However, to each his own.

This fix get's rid of 80% of the reflections.
Hey, Didn't realize it was such a low labor swap. Did the replacement dash pad in the passenger area include a matching passenger airbag cover? Thanks,
My interior is black and I still get a reflection.
It's significantly less though. The rake of the windshield means all dashes will be reflected to some extent, but the tan one is pretty obtrusive to some. Others aren't bothered by it. Good option in this thread for those it bothers. Kudos OP.
Reflections are an issue with C8 windshields since they purposely have a reflective coating on them. The reflective coating is required for the heads up display to function. I think the story is that on earlier Corvettes, if you had a HUD and replaced the windshield you had to make sure the replacement windshield had this coating.
. Help arrives - this is worst case looking into my garage with the sun shining on my dash.
FWIW, where I live in sunny California there are a lot of tree-shaded winding roads and bicyclists. Driving in and out of bright sunlight is often dazzling. Yes I know how well polaroid sun glasses help, but I noticed on one drive recently that the sunglasses increased the dazzle effect. Shaded places got even darker. I'm not taking a chance clipping one of these bicyclists or worse because I didn't spot them in the shade in time.
