its a common thing... only very very few headunits work properly in the stock location, and if yours doesnt, theres nothin you can do about it

Ludlam is dead wrong. There is definitely something you can do about it!!!

You can hold you hand up in front of your HU and block the sunlight.

hah, yeah, those are my old comfy etnies... but notice theyre on the floor because you can see the pants on my leg sittin in the passenger seat... i have a thing where i like to be barefoot whenever im working on my car... sucks with fiberglass though because you get all the little hairy fibers all up on your feet... so usually i work in only socks...

I would make something to make a visor around it. Like PaCiFiKbAllA said just tape paper around it. Ghetto but would work. If the paper doesn't work try construction paper cuz it's thicker and won't let light through.

Tinting your front windshield would be a BIG no-no for YOUR safety...think about how hard it would be to see at night. Also, I can't imagine you would find a shop willing to do that; seeing as they would face huge fines if caught doing it.
