The dazzling synthetic dash mat - distracting

For your consideration:
I bought the I30 Dash-mat as the window’s exposure to sunlight on the windscreen can be quite dazzling on hot sunny days being so large.

But the Dash Mat is synthetic; and now the windscreen reflects sparkles as the sun catches the glitter in the mat

This can be quite distracting, while driving; you need to find anther fabric, one that does not reflect perhaps a flat matt colour. :rolleyes:

Yes Cheryl, I have noticed this with some dash mats. A bit of an odd choice of fabric.  Just for the record, we are entirely independent from the Hyundai motor company, so are not responsible for the materials they choose.

We got ours from SuperCheap and are quite happy with the very low reflectivity. Material is key. Ours has a nice woolly texture so probably not synthetic.

Mine came from Supercheap also. There is a little reflection depending on the angle of the sun in relation to the direction you are traveling but much less than from the uncovered dash.

Also Dazzler is not responsible for the dazzle or sparkles :lol:
