I don't have any overhang. When the sun is overhead I put an auto windshield shade above my head to block out extra light. I am using one piece of the jumbo windshield covers from Walmart.

Finishing the glareshield, decided on a flat gray lacquer finish on the fiberglass with a 1" overhang. The fiberglass edge has some potential for cuts and scrapes so decided to guard the lip by slitting a piece of vacuum hose and slipped that over the edge. Also installed the intensity adjustable red LED tape from Steinair behind the tube. (FYI The white interior light is on a separate switch.)
The lip protrusion with the tube is about 1 1/4" and have never had an issue with glare.

Here is my panel..... Dynon SkyView, and a Garmin 696. Full 2020 ADSB in and out compliant, clean panel, and both have remote battery back up.

Yep, that is pretty. I just love those radios. The only reason I bought Garmin was to keep it all uniform. Those were what I really would have liked.

Well, here is what I ended up doing. About 1-1/4" overhang. McMaster Carr edge trim. Six vent holes w/screens to let hot air out from behind panel. Black oxide stainless screws and washers (not screwed down in photo).
Paper labels are place holding until I receive the final placards.
