For my first attempt at fixing the reflection problem with the ZOE’s windscreen I ordered a roll of anti-slip dash liner material from Amazon (see Fig
[See the full post at: Fixing the Renault ZOE’s Windscreen Reflection – Part 2]I’ve only had my ZOE since last Tuesday (don’t ask me why it took so long) but I found wearing sunglasses works great. It doesn’t eliminate the reflection, but it does decrease the annoyingness (if that is even a word) of it a whole lot.
Yes – I should add a comment on that into the first post. Wearing polarised sunglasses definitely improves things.
I have also been using some black anti-slip mat (not so neatly as Trevor’s), which improves visibility greatly, but I find that the pattern is still slightly distracting.
I have ordered some neoprene from eBay for my next attempt:

I’ll let you know how I get on when it arrives.
I suppose it’s too much to hope that Renault ever do anything about this?
It’s ashamed one of these available for the Zoe

The air-vents are still visible, so I may have to cover the cross struts if it becomes irritating.
I’m in the process of trying similar solutions, but am concerned about covering the area where the passenger air bag is sited. Also not sure how far this extends, but it will mean that achieving a tidy looking layout won’t be easy.
I’ve also found that the door mirror rear view is sometimes “obscured” by the reflection of the white air vent surround so I think the ultimate solution is a custom replacement by Renault or a professional third party. Not very hopeful in either case.This gives an idea where the airbag comes out.
I should have said at 46 seconds.
Thanks Alex,
I don’t much like looking at these vids, but you’re right it does show the extent of the airbag flap and as I thought means a largish area can’t be covered. Covering the rest of the dash in front of the driver would help solve the visibility problem, but how to make the solution look presentable?
I wear glasses all the time and have bought some clip-on polaroids which work well for me and I think that will have to be my solution.
