In the interests of a community problem with our cars, I have come up with a possible fix to the reflectivity of the gauges and other illuminated components on the windshield.
(Disclaimer)
This is as of yet is untried, but the thoery of it sounds like it might just work.
Computers for years have had privacy film to keep prying eyes out of personal information on the computer screen. This film can be purchased at many office supply retailers, or from 3M directly.
The idea here is the privacy filter applied over the gauge screens will black out in the direction of the windshield, but not toward the driver. Thus cutting out the windshield glare many of us have had issues with over the years.
Second hand stores can also have privacy filters on their shelves, and usually dont ask much for them. Just trim them to the desired shape you want.
As soon as I can come across one locally Ill test it out and show a before and after shot. If anyone else wants to try this out, please post the results here.
