Default Aftermarket HU + sunroof open = lots o' glare on HU?

hey all....

i put in my pioneer 7600 head unit in a few days ago, albeit after blowing a couple fuses and thinking i killed the entire electronics system, and there seems to be a ton of glare on the face of the HU if i have my sunroof open which makes it very hard to red... this is due to the fact that in the tC the DIN opening is tilted upwards a few degrees.

does anyone else have this problem?

Yeah, I see how that could be a real problem. Tell ya what, just to help you out, if you want to pull the unit and send it to me, I'll take that nasty glare-reflecting unit off your hands.

i'm not too familiar with that particular unit, but i know that most of them let you change the tilt degree. have you looked into that?
