Abstract

A shield for protecting the driver of a vehicle against reflected glare from an exterior mirror is disclosed. The shield takes the form of a planar sheet of material suitably treated to attenuate the intensity of visible light transmitted without distortion therethrough. In one embodiment, the shield is parallelogram-shaped and is equipped with diagonally opposed suction cups for positioning and detachably fastening the shield to the interior of the window. In another embodiment, the shield is trapezoid-shaped and has no integral fastening means, but its angular forward end is capturable by wedging action between a forward part of the window and an interior region of the vehicle adjacent thereto. In both embodiments, the shield is dimensioned and positionable to intercept, and thus to attenuate, only glare reflected from the exterior mirror along the line of sight between the mirror and the driver, leaving the driver's field of view unobstructed.
