Consumer Description

THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT CREATED AN ACCIDENT, BUT IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE ACCIDENTS. THE GUNMETAL TRIM INSERTED INTO THE LEFT AND RIGHT LOWER SIDES OF THE DASH CREATE A BLINDING GLARE IN THE REAR VIEW MIRRORS ON SUNNY DAYS. THE GLARE IS SO BAD, IT COVERS NEARLY ALL OF THE SURFACE OF THE LEFT HAND MIRROR, SO WHEN CHANGING LANES FROM RIGHT TO LEFT, THE DRIVER WILL MISS SEEING A CAR IN THE LEFT LANE BECAUSE OF THE GLARE. IT IS EVEN MORE PRONOUNCED FOR A CAR THAT MAY BE IN THE BLIND SPOT. SAME IS TRUE, BUT NOT AS BAD, AS THE RIGHT LANE. I HAD TO COVER UP THE TRIM BY COVERING IT WITH A BLACK CLOTH TAPED TO THE GUNMETAL TRIM. *TR
