ABSTRACT:
An instrument panel for a motor vehicle has a shelf formed with a multiplicity of parallel grooves and ridges to minimize reflected images and glare. The grooves and ridges are generally V-shaped with forwardly and rearwardly facing surfaces. The forwardly facing surfaces are each inclined upwardly and rearwardly at an angle selected to prevent reflection of light upwardly to the windshield and thence into the vehicle operator's eyes or glare directly from the shelf surface into the operator's eyes.
