TCjeff Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I'm annoyed by the shiny parts of my steering wheel and shifter reflecting the sun in my eyes on my 2016 TC. Has anyone figured out a solution for this short of covering it in electric tape? I was hoping someone had a pre cut vinyl sticker or some other clever solution.

mraubold Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 i'm about to cut my own from black vinyl or some carbon looking stuff, those refection can be realy enoing going east in the mornings, shifter never did that so far, and i could put my fang on it at that time if it does, have a 2019, and its bad sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtn Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I have never noticed that before but now it'll be my burden for sure. Find a way to remove the shiny trim parts and have a friendly sign shop wrap it in matte vinyl. jrm223 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCjeff Posted July 7, 2020 Author Share Posted July 7, 2020 I ended up buying a sample piece of vinyl wrap on ebay. Tracing the areas, messing that up, sticking it on and cutting away some excess. This is the first go. I might redo it or just say "meh" and live with it. Based on some focus/fiesta/mustang searches I know I could've removed the air bag and gone for a really complete job but that was more mission creep than I could deal with. Good enough for now. Might redo later. Happy enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTVan50 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) I noticed the glare shortly after buying my 2018 FTC, bugs the crap out of me and is distracting , going with matte carbon finish. I'm splurging on a custom steering wheel from https://www.realcarbontastic.com/product-page/2014-ford-transit-connect-custom-carbon-fiber-steering-wheel Edited November 19, 2021 by GTVan50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSJBSJ Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) YIKES! That's a heck of a splurg. ? Bugs me too! I bought some wrap for mine but haven't installed it yet. I also found a plastic cover on AliExpress that might work. But it doesn't have the cutouts for the circular control buttons.
