Dash blanket to keep glare down

I've got a black rag covering the center dash open tray to keep the chrome rim from blinding me when the sun is in front. However, the glare on the entire black dash can be very hard on these old eyes with that same sun coming in anywhere from 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock.
Without wanting the truck to look like a dingle ball south-of-the-boarder rig festooned with 6" dice hanging from the rear view mirror and a gold shag rug piece on the dash, is there a dash board blanket that someone makes to custom fit my dash that will not reflect direct sunlight?
 
Those covers look like a good solution.

I'd like to talk to dingle ball engineers that think shiny polished metal trim on the dash is a good idea. I keep a ball cap on the dash that I can lay over the center cubby to cover up the metal trim.

The Ram is better than my last GM though. The 2018 had a sloping rear section on the hood that slopes back toward the cab. When the sun got right in that SOB, it was blinding. I kept a big bath towel rolled up on the dash of that truck to block the glare from that stupid ass hood.

I keep a ball cap and sun glasses on hand all the time, too. But, because of the glare, I end up taking them on and off too much just dealing with the glare. I don't like wearing sun glasses unless I absolutely need them because I like looking at the scenery unfiltered.
 
I put dash mats on all of my vehicle's dashes for the glare....to protect them from the Georgia sun....and any accessories I want to put on the dash like radar detectors or trailer camera display will usually sit pretty well with just a strip or two of hook portion of some industrial velcro. When I trade them in I take the dash mat off and stick it in the back and the dash looks brand new. The used car appraiser likes good looking dashes.
