Mazda 6 2014: Bright sunlight through windscreen

We bought a new Mazda 6 in November. The sunlight coming through the windscreen stings our eyes. We had a Mazda6 nine years ago which was a 2005 model, and in-between there have been two Volkswagen Jettas. Has there been a change in the angle of the window? I have resorted to spreading a shirt on my knees as a front passenger but when I am driving, and being further forward, I need to wear a scarf to protect my neck right down to the tummy. Is there a solution?

Mazda spokeswoman Karla Leach might have the answer for you, as well as some good news on sun damage: “The angle of the windscreen is very similar to the previous model but in the current model car has moved 100mm rearward relative to the previous model. However, the windscreen blocks out 100 per cent of UVA and UVB rays, and 46 per cent of heat. The side windows block out 91 per cent UVA and 100 per cent of UVB rays.”
