A glare shield assembly for an aircraft instrument panel includes a base panel mounted to shield the instrument panel and a number of extension panels which can be slidably moved to extend the area of the glare shield. The extension panels desirably are made of a high heat-resistant, flexible thermoplastic material and are mounted on a telescoping sliding guide channel which, in turn, is hinged such that in the event of an ejection of the pilot from the aircraft, the extension panels rotate about the hinged portion to a cleared position upon impact thereto by, for example, the knees of the pilot.
