Consumer Description

BECAUSE OF THE REFLECTIVE MATERIAL USED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE DASH LOWER DASH COMPONENTS ON THE FAR LEFT AND FAR RIGHT SIDE OF THE DASH, THERE IS A BLIND SPOT CREATED BY SUN GLARE INTO THE LEFT AND RIGHT MIRRORS FROM THE REFECTION OFF THE LOWER LEFT AND RIGHT DASHBOARD. THE REFLECTION AND GLARE IS SO STRONG, IT COMPLETELY ELIMINATES AN IMAGE IN THE MIRROR, WHEN THE SUN IS BEHIND YOU, LOW IN THE SKY. IF YOU ARE CHANGING LANES AND DEPENDING ON THE MIRROR WITHOUT LOOKING BACK, YOU CAN'T SEE ANY OBJECT THAT MIGHT BE IN THE MIRROR. IT'S A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR
