Have you ever considered tinting your windshield 70%? I did this and noticed a substantial reduction in glare and the film provides some heat rejection and is still clear enough to see well at night.
I did this with a 70% ceramic tint. I would have never believed it would reduce glare and heat like it does. Especially for a black truck with black interior.

This has become standard procedure for me when I get a new vehicle. Windshield 70% and sides around 25% to match. It makes a huge difference on keeping the heat out and how fast the truck will cool down.

Has anyone tried spray painting the speaker grill with something more matte? The grill pops right off and I have been really tempted to just hit it with matte black to knock down the shine.
Mine is tinted as well, which reduces heat but still get plenty of glare. Dash board plastic and angle just lead to gnarly glare in the afternoon/evening.

Yeah I have 50% on the windshield tinted as well. I'm mostly just annoyed looking at dashcam footage vs my own glare. I'll never go back to having non-tinted windshields, I thought it would be so dark and unusable at night but it's amazing.

If this really is that big of a problem for you then you really should go see an eye doctor.
It really isn’t a problem…

I highly recommend Dash Designs. While not form fitted like Coverking, their pattern is very good. ? I went for the black Sedona suede, kinda matches the other suede like material. Eliminates all glare on the dashboard itself (which is way more than I've ever experienced with any other vehicle) and on the windshield itself. I've never been one for dash covers but there's no denying the functional benefits in this truck.

I saw your post and purchased one from DashDesigns as well. The black Sedona matches the interior really well....I always like to personalize everything so I looked around and created my own design. Off to a special embroidery shop and Walla! I choose colors to match my hot pepper red. Appreciate your post Werkz.

Ok, I’m jealous. That looks awesome. Where did you get the work done?

I highly recommend DashDesigns. I buy their brushed suede ones and have used them on my last 4 vehicles. They fit so well that I only have to use minimal velcro or none at all. There is no better dash cover than DashDesigns, you can't go wrong with them. Note that if you have the upper flip up compartment they even have an option for that.

I have dash covers in all my vehicles.
Got this one off Amazon. It fit well enough but is actually flat and not fitted or molded. I may modify it but it does the job. The material is nice, like suede and not polyester shiny like some.

Edit: ebay not Amazon. Seller had good reviews so I risked it, 3 weeks from China....
They also have it with red edge stitching.

Looks nice, I like the embroidery design on this as well!
