Sun shades that aren't shiny on the outside?
I need to get a sun shade for the windhsield of our 2023 Mini SE but our concern is that where we park outdoors, our car faces the 5 story building we live in and we definitely don't want our car flashing the sun into our neighbours eyes if they're on their balconies or in their apartments. I can't find any that aren't super shiny on the sun facing side. Anyone seen anything like this or can maybe recommend something else to block the sun?
Thanks for any ideas!

This is the only ones we carry and they reflect but not that much to blind anyone, also the factory glass is tinted so it should not glare that much.

Light is reflected at the same angle the light hits the glass (angle of reflection = angle of incidence). the rear glass is at approximately 90 degrees from the light source which means it won't reflect upwards like a windshield will. I've never seen someone worry about sunlight reflecting off their windshields. The sun moves so any reflection will be transient. However if you're actually worried about the sun reflecting off your glass you can use something like:
or anything similar. Most I've seen at CVS and O'Reilly's are non-reflective cardboard type.
Car Windshield Sunshade Lobster Flat Pattern Foldable Sun Shield Blocks UV Rays Automotive
or anything similar. Most I've seen at CVS and O'Reilly's are non-reflective cardboard type.
