    My Info display - like yours - is impossible to see in about 30% of normal daytime driving because of glare. Noticed that BMW has the display lower and recessed; with no glare problems.

    If someone would make a cowling (a hood or shade) that cuts off some of the problem I would buy in a second.

    Requirements: Nice material, easy to install, looks like or close to OEM, flared sides so passenger can still see the display.
