Maybe I should clarify what I mean by glare. It the reflection of the shape of the dash and the white stitching in the window I'm talking about that is bothering me. It may just be something some people notice more than others. Unfortunately I notice it badly when I'm driving.

dash glare
I don't have any mentionable glare off the dashboard (and I drive my car in the Florida sun), but I hear you about the stitching. It looks great on the dash from inside the car, but the reflection of the line of stitching on the left side of the upper dash (from the base of the windshield back) drives me a little crazy. I constantly notice that line reflecting off the glass and my eyes are drawn to it. It's sort of like a dirt line from running the wipers.

This is what I said about it in my review right after I got my car back in early October:

I know what you mean. I don't have it on my 3LT Kalahari, but I have been driving a 2014 impala loaner for the last few days and the reflection from the grey dash is very distracting.

SMH at this thread!!! If I get in my car and start noticing stitching reflected in my windshield, I am going to be REALLY pissed at you guys!!
2LT black interior and I have not noticed any reflection in the windshield yet! Now I'm going to be looking for it which scares me. Note to self: FORGET EVER READING THIS THREAD!
For those that do notice it, here is your fix.

First....no types of products have been put on the dash or windshield so I know that's not the problem.
Maybe I should clarify what I mean by glare. It the reflection of the shape of the dash and the white stitching in the window I'm talking about that is bothering me. It may just be something some people notice more than others. Unfortunately I notice it badly when I'm driving.

Light is refracted when hitting a flat surface producing the glare. I believe it has to do with the angle that the driver is at when looking into the dash. It may have a glare all the time for a 5'9 person and not for a 5'11 or 6 feet person.
Question: what are your two's height. If they are in the same range, that may be the problem.

I'm 6ft 3". It doesn't crack me but can be annoying, just learnt to live with it.
Not complaining, just interested and supporting the statement.
