    While driving near sundown in my Prime Advanced, headed east or southeast, the low sun can shine in through the right rear window, past the front-right-seat headrest, to produce blinding glare into the driver's eyes off the glass of the 11" screen. Not only is the screen not readable, the glare blinds the driver.
    I have wondered about a glare-reducing plastic or glass overlay for the screen, or noticed that an "earflap" attachment to the front-right headrest could block the sun from reaching the screen. Has anyone found the product or method to solve this problem?

    There is a thread here that addresses that problem.
