Default Dashboard Reflection on Windscreen

I'm finding the dashboard reflection on the windscreen of my MD to be the worst of any car I've owned.
That's probably because the windscreen is angled back more than on my previous cars, which were built in 2002 & before. (My Renault 12's windscreen might have had a similar angle, but I can't remember that far back.)

I see that I can get a fitted dashboard mat from fitmycar; can anyone advise whether this would be the solution?

That would be the only solution, it will help protect your dash from becoming brittle from the sun too.

Make sure you get the blackest one you can. Ive had a few Greyish / Black ones that seem to reflect silvery in the screen, could be the "grey" reflects the sun or just the plastic stuff they are made of.

Armourall can make the dash very glossy which doesn't help.
There's a low sheen version of armourall which lessens the reflections.
