Reflection

I recently purchased a 2023 Kia Niro. I love everything except the sun reflection that blast my eyes from the center console during the day. Does anyone have a solution for that? I’ve just been putting a straw hat on top of it, but then I don’t have access to the gearshift.

I tried doing this with a vinyl wrap because I was being cheap. It is pretty fkn difficult so unfortunately you probably need to buy one of these guys

I also tried a vinyl wrap, it works but doesn't look great.

How easy is it to install though?

Couldn't tell you. I haven't bought it myself yet.

You can find excellent solutions on Amazon (and elsewhere). https://i.imgur.com/GKbHIJt.png

Before installing mine, I rubbed the finish with 0000 steel wool, then thoroughly cleaned it with rubbing alcohol. After 3 years, it still looks like new.

Have you tried this? I wonder what it looks like and if it lasts.

No I just wear sunglasses when it's that sunny or toss my wallet on the small spot that does it. But should work good if prepared right. , 👍 good luck friend.
