Doesn't matter what angle the screen is set at, because of the upward nature of the stereo mounting in the Zed, the screen is always in direct light. Of course, this is less of a problem with the top up (or shaded T-Tops on) but still annoying as it picks up side-glare from the windows. I'd look into making some sort of top hood-shade that fits where the long trim piece clips in above the radio in the bezel.
