    Is it just me..... or has anyone else ever been completely blinded when that lil mirrored bezel collects all the Suns rays and shoots them directly into your eyes?
    Best solution I came up with was covering it with a round piece of adhesive - backed Velcro....
    Anyone else have any creative solutions for this?

    Definitely have had this problem, have not found a good solution yet. Considering pulling the bezel out the next time I open the dashboard and painting it.

    They do also make other sprays, such as frosting or dulling sprays that I've considered.

    Living in Florida, I absolutely hate this as well. I just move myself in the seat a bit to rectify it.
