Screen Protector

Has anyone been able to find a non-glare screen protector for the navigation screen? I've actually looked everywhere and cannot seem to find one.

I tried like 3 or 4 different models of screen protectors within the first few months of owning my car last year. Mainly because I found out the hard way that the screens factory coating seems to be made of butter and scratched within the first 4-6 weeks of ownership.

I tried the tempered glass and film versions, some glossy, some anti-glare. I ended up returning or removing all of them because they either looked really really bad, or just made the display have more glare.

Now I just use the center console wheel to navigate the screen menus, so I dont have to worry about any additional scratches on my display.

Personally I would say save your money / time with trying these films to reduce glare, and just invest in a nice pair of sunglasses

I use the center controller or voice control because the fingerprints drive me crazy

The Z4 screen has a curved left edge. This won't fit.

I got mine here:

https://www.protectionfilms24.com/c/...g29-2018-2020/

You’ll need to choose the G29 option from among the auto products to find it, apparently the direct link doesn’t work. Perfect fit, but a matte finish that diminishes the brightness of the screen and creates add’l glare when the top is down w/ direct exposure to sunlight. Perfectly fine with top up or w/ indirect exposure to sunlight. I find the drawbacks minor enough to be worth the extra protection.
