Agrhhhhhhhhhhhhh GLARE!

Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket 'glare reduction' sticker for our Maxima like what is on the 350Z?



I know we have those nice cumbersome plastic shields on the side of the sun visor...but C'mon!!!!

do you have frost or tan interior?

I noticed a TON of glare on a rental Mitsubishi Galant that had tan interior, I am used to black/dark grey interior...so I don't have this problem (black absorbs light, white & all lighter colors reflect light)

I too am noticing a glare on my 03 with tan interior... the glare I am noticing; however, is on the windshield and it is from the clock housing.. it only appears when I have the sun on either side of me directly 90' perpendicular from me and my windshield..

ugh.. oh well.. maybe I'll get one of those cheezy carpet mats for the dash...

OOH or maybe one of those pimpin **** carpet ones that I see in the minivans that roll around east side san jose..

Dark colors like black absorbs light and bright colors reflect light.

Right, but, as in the picture above, I am looking to filter the light coming in between the visors.

Sunglasses, check.

Back to topic: Anyone else know where I can get the spotted 'mesh tint'?

ahhh, my other home. I used to live on the coast...North Topsail Beach, and Wilmington...I want to go back some time, but have to wait until kids are all grown up...

have you tried calling local tint shops? I bet they could lead you down the right path...
