Abstract
A sun glare shield which attaches to the rearview mirror mounting post of most passenger vehicles to block unwanted sunlight that comes in around the rearview mirror when driving into a low sun, designed to prevent the driver from being blinded by the glare. The glare shield consists of one planer panel of foam rubber with a slot coming up from the bottom, in the center, to slide over and grip the rearview mirror's mounting post.
