Hello Fellows

My 1998 V70 AWD has a very shiny dash. For reference it has the grey leather interior, though I'm pretty sure the dash covering material is vinyl. It's about the only design detail I don't like on the car. It looks pretty good, and certainly holds up to UV damage better than the mid-80s 700s did...

It's just not very functional with all that glare. Even when the dash is not particularly clean there is a striking glare off the dash with direct sunlight, and if it's recently been cleaned it's like having a halogen flashlight pointed right at your face.

I can often manage the direct glare off the dash shining right into my eyes by wearing sunglasses, and I think polarized lenses would make an even bigger difference. I hope to get a pair of these soon.

What I can't manage easily is the /reflection/ of the glare off the dash, as it shines up onto the inside of the windshield. It creates a distinct spot on the windshield that is actually very difficult to see through properly.

Does anyone else have this problem? Is it specific to certain years/materials?

Any suggestions for solutions?
