Description of the problem | There are three issues with the car that make it dangerous to drive. When it's sunny, the plastic covering the instrument panel (on the bottom left and right) reflects sunlight back into the drivers eyes. The molding surrounding the gear shifter is metallic looking and also reflects light back into the drivers eyes. The top of the windshield is not tinted and makes the reflection worse. Also the visor can't be used because it hits the rear view mirror when moved. |
