How have people handled the glare from the dash?
Hi Conn1, I see you are new here. Welcome.
Your problem most likely stems from a shinny protector-ant that you have applied to the dashboard. Armor-all, Son of Gun, or some similiar product. I will only use a damp cloth for a wipe down or a car duster. If you want to use a product, try a "low sheen" type.
You will see that on the label's.
As far as your posting, you may want to delete the carbon copy post under General Questions as most of the people on this forum go to the "read new posts" option. Your's will show up twice and it is much better to keep your Q&A in one thread.
:)

Try to use polarizing sun glasses. It makes wonders. I know, I've been doing it for years.
I know it is not a real solution, though it worked for me. |

| The only glare problem I have is on the driver side window. The latte interior glare on the window makes it virtually impossible to see in the rear side mirror at times. Not sure what to do about it. |

| I bought a dashmat it not only cuts glare but protects the dash from cracking long trem in the hot sun. It also keeps things from sliding around on the dash.:cool: :cool: |

| I have a Coffee Late interior and the glare is not bad. Honestly, I did not remember any problems with it until I saw your post. What color interior do you have? |

ditto, we had a Volvo which had glare so bad off of the dash under certain condtions, you had to get out of the car and look to see how close you were to an object.
The MO has been fine (latte).

| I have the charcoal interior and have never really noticed any glare. I use 303 protectant on the dash for protection. It leaves a nice satin finish. I wipe it on and then buff it with a dry clean microfiber towel. As far as I know the MO's, windshield is already polarized to reduce glare outside the vehicle. |

Get yourself a pair of polarized sunglasses. Cuts the glare to nothing.
I've got a black interior, and the glare can get pretty bad at times, mostly right after I clean the dash. Once I put on my shades, I can barely even see it.
I guess the other solution would be to let the dust pile up! |

I have glare from the black dash. I don't use any shiny protectant either.
Polarized sunglasses do the trick. no complaints. |

| Doesn't the dash mat cut the sound from the front speakers? Seems like a drastic measure, especially since it doesn't seem to fit too well. I'll stick to my Maui Jim's for what glare there may be. |
|
|
| Emtee |
| No the dashmat does not dampen the sound from the speakers. It does flatten out over time all in all I like it and the look it gives. but to each his own. |

| Yeah I think polarized sun glasses is the only method other than a dash mat. Even the low gloss dash protectant will shine up enough to cause some glare. Too bad Nissan used cheap hard plastic on that part. |

| Thats so funny that this was brought up finally. The glare drove me nuts in the first week,my dealer of original purchase(Valencia,Ca. Nissan) offered the dash mats custom made. We had a Toyota Previa in the past with a huge dash as well (and plenty of glare) and the dash mat did the trick. My mat, I have to admit looks so much better than the one pictured. I'll post one tomorrow. I have the Cafe Latte int. and they had about 15 different colors to match as close to yours as possible.It really helps to stop things(sunglasses,etc.) from careening around and I think helps to provide better sound acoustics as well as the sun protection! |

| As you can see my dashmat fits real sweet and has the cutouts for the speakers,defroster vents and daylight sensors as well as the passenger airbag-sweet,I think. |

| shows cutouts for speakers and ports better |

| Wow...that's very nice Darrell. Where did you get it? What did it run? Very nice fit. I wouldn't have to dust the dash everytime I get into the MO! |

| Very nice custom dash mat. Where did you get it from? |
|
|
| Darrell Sheldon |
| I purchased it through my original dealer,Valencia Nissan in Valencia Ca. Their Phone is 661-255-2020. I don't know if you can do a purchase through the mail as how you can match colors other than ask the parts guy to match as close as he can to a similar murano on the lot. I think it was about $126.00 but I may be mistaken. I'll look up the reciept.It is held secure by little velcro bits that are included.:4: |
