Did you Armorall it?
These usually do not reflect unless someone rubbed it with a protectorant
If so remove the stuff with a light solvent

I have a tan interior '04 car and agree the dash glare is bad. I haven't looked into solutions, but I'd start by trying my sponsors to see if they sell dash mats (dark/absorbent).
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

have tried dash mat but no better... no armorall either; that's what is so frustrating.
i'm going to look for something like they use on glasses to mitigate nighttime glare, as soon as i talk to my eyeglass guys.
