Probs in the heat?

Anyone have visibility problems on hot days? It been 95+ out in cali lately and the gauge gets real dim when its hot Ive been leaving my window cracked and covering the gauge but I dont know what else to do short of removing the gauge from he vehicle on hot days.

It's common.
The weird thing about mine is the left shift light doesn't work
until it cools down.

I went and bought some windshield sun blockers and keep all my windows cracked about 1/4"-1/2" It reduced the problem by 75-80%

I use a reflective windshield shade. As the manual states the contrast will be reduced if the gauges get above 160 deg F. Because the SRT4 has such a large front windshield the dash area can get really hot. The shade helps our tremendously on my car, I still notice some decline in contrast but they are still very readable.
