Description of the problem | Windshield glare reflection from dash compromises visibility when driving in sunlight. Sunlight reflects off dash causing glare in windshield. Many people have complained (forums online) this has been going on for years and occurs in many vehicles. Auto manufactures need to put extremely non-reflective material on dashes to counter this. A dull dash mat really helps, proving that it can be mitigated. |
