NOT SURE IF IT'S THE ANGLE OF THE WINDSHIELD, THE BRUSHED-PLASTIC TYPE DASH THAT SEEMS HIGHLY REFLECTIVE, OR A COMBINATION OF THE TWO... BUT WHEN SUNLIGHT HITS THE DASHBOARD, IT CREATES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. DEPENDING ON THE ANGLE OF THE SUN, IT CAN BECOME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE THROUGH AND POSES A HIGH RISK AT ANYTHING IN A SHADED AREA (LIKE DRIVING FROM SUNNY ROAD THROUGH SHADED PATCH). THE GLARE IS NOTICEABLE IN LOW LIGHT AND AT NIGHT WHEN PASSING STREET LAMPS/TRAFFIC LIGHTS. ON A SCALE OF 1-10... THE NIGHT/LOW LIGHT VISIBILITY IS AROUND 1 OR 2 BUT WHEN YOU HAVE THE SUN GLARING ON IT, IT'S MORE OF A 8-9. TEMPORARY SOLUTION WOULD MOST LIKELY BE A DASH MAT BUT MAYBE RE-DESIGN OR DIFFERENT MATERIAL USED WOULD BE BETTER SUGGESTION FOR THE MANUFACTURER. *TR
