Default anti-reflection treatments?

I'm trying to reduce the canopy reflections in my V2bx, particularly
the refletion from around the air vent at the extreme forward end of
the instrument cover. I've tried black electrical tape (a disaster)
and felt-tip pen (not very effective).

Any thoughts on effective surface treatments?

TIA,

Frank (TA)

Frank, I use black velvet from a fabric store put on with contact
cement.

It works very well, I will be at the field this weekend you can check
it out.

The soft side (loop) of black pressure sensitive Velcro works pretty
well.
