Recently got myself a 2002 Santa Fe. Good wagon. Only problem is reflection of top of dash onto inside of windscreen. Sometimes it's almost impossible to see the road. Perhaps the seller polished the offending area!, Have checked with Hyundai agents re "dash mat". About $110, but no guarantee that this would help. Any thoughts, please.

You must be very short.

I'd go with a non-reflective matt for a trial. Chances are the dash matt is actually a polyester, so it'll be quite shiny.

put a small dark hand towel on the dash to try. if that works leave it there or vary to suit your needs.

Agree with above.I have have an occasional problem with reflections from the base of the console.Quite why they thought it was a good idea to fit polished stainless trim is beyond me.

Na, that's a Moa mate. A Kiwi is only about 300mm tall.

I polished the tunnel ram bugcatcher on my T bucket. ONCE! the reflection from the afternoon sun on the western m/way was enough for me, driving along with my hand held up in line with the bridge of my nose rather than above my brow mustve looked odd

Has it had some sort of shiny treatment applied to it by the seller to fake the condition! Try cleaning it with a decent fluid.
And get yourself a pair of polarized sunglasses.

Throw your jersey across the dash and see if that helps

Purchased a dash mat (made in West Australia) for $90. Fits perfect and cuts out all the reflection. Beauty.

my 2002 holden with black dash gives me the same problem, but it is polished and does shine. Never in 35 years have I had a worse glare from a vehicle. Nice drive car though.

Polaroid sunglasses will stop the glare, and make you look cool!
