dashboard glare

hi guys
 in my mk1 when driving into the sun i get a reflection of the dashboard onto the windscreen which can reduce the visibility

now i got a mint dash off ebay and and i need any ideas on what to do

ive seen what flocking can do which seems good

i have spoken to a trimmers and they do say the mk1 dash can be a pain to get right if recovering with alternative materials [ i dont want leather or massive expense]

can anyone recommend the best course of action with regards to material? or any other ideas
the dash is in a mk1 cabby

Use a matt cleaner and not the shiney ones. had same problem on my old gti and it almost caused me to crash on the way to inters 8O

Yeah, matt finish cleaning wipes would be good - Lidl have them in this week!

Otherwise as you said flocking is a nice choice, rally/motorsport cars use flocking to prevent the reflection as you've described.

Frost restoration supplies do a flocking kit - or there is someone on Retro rides forum offering dashboard flocking for around ?100 - I don't think that's exchange but you'd have to remove your dash, send it off and it's returned flocked.

dashboard flocking for around ?100……… flock that ………1 tin of matt black spray a quid from the quid shop  :wink:

thanx for replies guys

any recommendations for these matt products that i can try on on the existing dash

tbh i dont 100quid is that bad for a good finish surely recovering in suede etc would be much more

now although my cabby doesnt leak does anybody know how the flocking would fare in a cabby?

thanx again for replies

There's an old thread about flocking HERE  Theres some pics too so you can see it.
