Description of the problem | Note: no accident - reporting safety issue!!! Incident date = date issue identified: as the driver, i am seeing light under the hood in the space between the edge of the dashboard and the opening under the hood. Outside light and road images are visible through the opening for the drivers wiper, due to the wide gap between the drivers front fender and hood. I found this shortly after purchase when i adjusted my seat to the position most comfortable for driving. This was reported to my dealer and subaru. In addition, i presented a video and pictures that shows from the drivers seat, inside the vehicle, i can clearly see outside light and images which is distracting when i drive and to me a safety issue.
