My first post so hope I'm doing this right hahaha. Anyhoo I'm having terrible glare coming off the center console handle (chromed plastic) on my 2018 Power Wagon. I am no auto mechanic but, I think I can handle taking it off if I had a bit more knowledge or any other ideas. I have a newborn boy on the way and will need it down so folding it into the upright position is not going to be an option for a while.


Thanks!

Instead of taking off the chrome, maybe find a vinyl wrap of your liking and cover it up. Less of a headache.

I've seen a few people complain about this over the years but have never had glare off either of the gen 4 2500's I have owned? I always put a couple inch tint strip on the top of the windshield so wonder is that doesn't stop it since I have never noticed it?

Once in a while I get some glare. Not often enough that I remember I want to do something about it only when it happens I think about it. I haven't looked to see what's involved in removing it to paint or wrap it. I do recall more people complaining about the trim on the full center consoles being a issue then the handle on the jump seat.

The wrap and tinting ideas are great guys thanks a lot for the input! I'm a shorter guy and that might be part of my issue as well lol gosh darn genetics! Again, thanks so much for the responses!

Take a rife to your local tint shop. Usually the will do vinyl graphics too. You might be able to score a scrap big enough on the cheap.

I want to get rid of glare too but it's hard to convince other people not to put garbage LED headlights in their cars and trucks.
