I would not assume there is a fix needed until you get your bike. I put 5,000 miles on my bike in the first 3 months and never had an issue with the screen.

I have just over 12K on mine.  Not often but a few times the glare has been blinding.  Usually its you just can't read the screen as the sun has it washed out.

I'll take this over engine troubles any day.

I have only owned my RGU for a few weeks now. But have had issues with seeing the infotainment center because of sun glare on it. Have not had the blinding issues some have experienced. I would like to see the MoCo move the tach and speedo up to where the info center is and move the info down to the bars. Maybe stand it up a little more vertical. I say this after coming off a street glide. The gauges up front more in the line of sight and the radio down low would make more sense to me. Just my observation.

This is what I'm referring to...

Hard to tell but when it's spot on its blinding.

I'm 6'1" and get exactly the same experience Rob - we can deal with not being able to read the screen by simply going old school but being blinded because of an obviously poor design is a potentially deadly flaw for riders and others and could result in a class action.

Hope Robmay didn't "blind" his camera ....LOL. Yes, the glare can be a bitch ......especially given that the stock protective film is reflective rather than a matte finish. Depending on the sun position, my 2011 FLTRUSE radio screen would occasionally throw a blinding glare at me .....but with the much smaller screen .....it was nowhere near as bad as our 6.5" screen :'(.

I "semi-solved" the issue by removing/replacing the Harley reflective screen with a (matte finish) anti-reflective "DayVue" film by NuShield. It's part #NU068RA and made for 6.5" screens. While not a perfect solution ......this comparison photo is indicative of the improvement using the NuShield film:

Trigger did you put it on the gauges too? They look clearer in the 2nd photo also.

Only installed on BOOM! Screen Robmay. Photos were taken on different days. Except for low sun directly behind .....I've found the worst viewing around midday on a very cloudy bright day ......might have been more clouds in first pic. This NuShield film is not a panacea for the worst conditions .....but it's surely a significant improvement. The screen would benefit with a proper shade hood as well.

and that was going to be MY next question :)

I see the notches in each corner, do we have to lever that out?
