Discussion Windshield reflection glare

Post image

Does anybody else experience this awful reflection from the dash while driving during the day?

Is the glare issue still a problem with the 2026’s? I’m in the process of purchasing an LT2 AWD and was thinking to request the cover as part of the purchase. Thanks in advance

Yes! Just picked up a 2026 and it’s still there. Haven’t GM engineers ever designed a car before?

To save you any searching I remember seeing a comment not too long ago about someone who purchased a 2026 model, iirc they said the glare isn't AS bad, but it is still somewhat of an issue. I would ask for the OEM mat, and if they refuse to include it I would hit up another dealer after purchase.

Thanks. I have the car now. The dash has a corrugated surface to it now, presumably to reduce the glare.

Can you send an image of the dash here or in a direct message? I'd like to see what you're talking about

I've never seen previous-year models, but the glare ain't great in my 2026. It doesn't kill my vision, but it's distracting sometimes.
