    hi folks!
    I've a major trip coming up, and wife asked that I find some sort of a solution to the rear window glare - my little one is facing rear for now, and gets a full sunlight action every time we drive places.

    Anyone have any ideas before I go dropping outrageous money on ebay stuff? :D

    Any of those shades from Amazon will work fine, thats what we use. I would love a way to somehow install the built-in shade that comes with the Platinum trim but havent found a way yet.

    I live in a 5th wheel and we use an item called REFLECTIX to block the sun in the windows. It's 100% sun blocking, basically it's one of those corrugated reflective sun shields. It blocks everything, so you wouldn't be able to see either. Recommendation is to put some kind of tape around the edges once you cut it to size.

    +1. I take it the OP still wants to be able to see out of his rear windshield.

    Ceramic tint is probably the best option. I would do 35-55% on that rear windshield (on top of the factory tint). It'll significantly reduce the glare.

    thank you all.
    My windows are tinted all around, so I think the complete temporary light blocker is what i'll have to do.. Good thing my mirror feeds the rear camera view, I guess.
