Thanks, I did notice that with the polarized glasses it's extremely noticeable and take them off and it all but disappears. Need to find some decent non-polarized glasses to keep on the boat.

Hello All, Just took delivery of my 255 Freedom a couple weeks ago. Great boat so far. I'm seeing a lot of glade coming off the top of the console reflecting on the windshield while driving. Have any of you had this and solved it by possibly putting a flat black mat or some other covering on...
