Same here. Sand Beige full leather, lots of top-down, haven't noticed the glare.

It really has nothing to do with top down or not. The glass is reflective and will reflect whatever is on the dash. If the color is dark or black, it will not be so visible. If it is light, then you should be able to easily see the dash, the grain, a hint of beige, etc.

It is impossible for there to be no reflection - would defy physics. Most all glass surfaces at an angle to the viewer will behave as a mirror. Although it may be that driver height can have an effect - like looking in a mirror at an angle - what you see depends on the angle.

Still, a good pair of shades and problem solved.

Best bet is two tone if you don't want the glare and don't want all black - and it looks great too.

That or a good pair of Ray Ban Ps, or Maui Jims, etc... works a treat.
I can't pull into the garage without polarized glasses on... so much reflection. Beige interior
