Heritage Glare From Retro Dashboard Trim

[Ppauley]

Just got 23 Heritage. Blue with white. White trim on dash causes glare on windshield right in line of sight. Reached out to dealer to see how they are going to address. It’s annoying! Everything else great. Anyone one have thoughts or ideas?

My 2021 Base has the same problem. I think because it's a glossy type material.

I’ve been meaning to start this exact thread. It’s bizarre how the designers & engineers didn’t consider reflection on the windshield interior. When it bothers me enough I’ll look for a dashboard cover, as much as I don’t like that idea.

My dealer is offering to paint.

Mine's black and I get no glare...fortunately.

I bought a dash cover from Karlty's on Amazon for $25. It is made of a soft material, and is the best dash cover I've ever had.

My wife has complained of this same thing. I don’t notice it after driving for a bit. I will probably find a strip of black/charcoal fabric or something to slip in. Would use electrical tape but don’t want to deal with residue on the white trim if I ever want to take it back off.

Does anyone make a dash pad for our BS's yet?

Oughta be a recall, NHTSA doesn't take kindly to issues affecting driver's visibility. Or aTSB with an effective fix at least.

Polarized sunglasses? What's different between this and driving directly into a sunset with the sun right on the horizon? Seems to me the driver should take conditions into account and simply pull over if there is a safety issue. You can sit in a parking lot and surf on broncosportforum.com for the 10 minutes or so for the sun angle to change enough to eliminate any glare. Problem solved!
