How to Deal with Windshield Glare?
2 Answers
Solutions for windshield glare: 1. Apply a film to the windshield; 2. Place an anti-glare mat on the dashboard to reduce glare; 3. Avoid placing reflective objects on the dashboard or under the windshield. If the car did not have glare before applying the film, the issue might be with the quality of the film itself. Films with low light transmittance can cause this phenomenon, so they are only suitable for side or rear windows. Main impacts of windshield glare: 1. The windshield appears to have many distracting reflections; 2. It affects driving visibility and can cause dry eyes; 3. It interferes with driving; 4. In severe cases, it can lead to traffic accidents.
I used to always encounter glare on the windshield, especially on sunny days, which would dazzle my eyes and affect my ability to see the road. This is usually caused by dust, grease, or aging window film on the glass surface. I tried cleaning it myself with a clean soft cloth and water mixed with a little vinegar, and the glare improved significantly after thoroughly removing the stains. I also installed a sunshade to block the sun when parked, and while driving, I adjust the visor or change my seating position to avoid the light. Severe glare can be distracting and may lead to traffic accidents, so it's important not to ignore it. Regularly checking the cleanliness of the glass and keeping the car tidy inside and out can effectively reduce such annoying situations. Now, I’ve made it a habit to clean the glass once a week, which ensures safety and comfort, making long drives much less tiring.
