How to Deal with Windshield Reflection?
2 Answers
Windshield reflection: You can apply a film to the windshield. Alternatively, placing an anti-glare mat on the dashboard can also help resolve the reflection issue. The main impacts of windshield reflection are as follows: 1. The windshield appears to have more visual clutter. 2. It affects driving visibility, making the eyes prone to dryness. 3. It interferes with driving. 4. In severe cases, it can lead to traffic accidents. If the car did not have reflection issues before applying the film, it is likely due to the poor quality of the film itself. It is recommended to visit a 4S shop to check the cause. If the reflection is caused by the film, the shop should reapply it with a high-quality, high-transmittance film.
When I encountered the issue of windshield glare, my first step was always to clean the glass surface. Oil films, dust, or water stains on the glass often cause light reflection. I scrub it weekly with dedicated glass cleaner, avoiding soapy water or household cleaners as they leave residues. Additionally, reflective objects on the dashboard, such as phone or navigation mounts, can amplify the problem, so I always remove or cover them. During strong sunlight hours, I adjust the driver's position to avoid direct eye contact with glare spots. Over time, I found that regular application of anti-reflection coating spray also helps reduce glare—it's cost-effective with good results. More importantly, glare can obstruct vision and easily lead to accidents. Whenever I feel my road visibility is compromised, I immediately reduce speed or pull over to address it. Safety comes first—never take it lightly. Paying attention to these small details can significantly improve the driving experience.
