Default Infotainment Screen Glare

I have been having a problem reading/seeing the infotainment screen data during the day when my top is down. I checked eBay for a glare shield and only saw one for the earlier 7" screen. The seller stated that he did not have shields for larger screens(??)such as my 2020 10"..
Has anyone here come up with a solution other than building a tacky cardboard or other material shield?

Easy fix - buy a anti-glare scratch protection screen for a table computer and cut to size.

I too like this option! I have a few very light scratches on my screen from improper cleaning. Would this solution make the scratched less visible?
Should I have a pro polish put the scratches first?
Please excuse as I do not mean to hijack your thread.
Thanks, Spark

No problem with the hijack. screen might be pretty sot to polish. Maybe someone here has tried.
I didn't know if a screen cover would still allow the "touch" to work thru the extra layer.

I installed a clear computer screen as suggested. It seems to work pretty well, but some glare is still present with the top down. Almost impossible to get all the air bubbles out. Not real evident all the time.
