    Drove my Pista for the first time since taking delivery and was a little frustrated by the windshield glare from the dashboard making it look like I am driving through a screen door.

    I know this is a first world problem, but is there any solution? Where I live does not allow tinted windshields so that is not an option.

    Thanks in advance

    I do not think that is befitting of a Pista.....but I appreciate the suggestion

    Black....the issue is the driver side piece with 1000s of tiny holes in it reflects to the windshield and make it look like I am looking through a screen door.

    This may sound like a cop out response but you will get used to it. Try to focus past the windshield and after a few drives your brain will adjust. I know exactly what you are talking about and it drove me crazy after I took delivery too. The reflections from the top of the dash area was all I could see but after a while I never noticed unless I purposely focused on that area.

    Try polarized sunglasses.

    I guess I never noticed since I wear polarized glasses all the time. I have black leather and just went to look and I have no glare.

    I have the alcantara and that is not a problem...its the plastic piece with 1000 holes down near the glass. I wear regular glasses and maybe that makes it worse.

    Time for some prescription shades I suppose.
