Consumer Description
I OWN A 2016 SUBARU FORESTER WITH EYESIGHT, STARLINK, AND THE ALL-WEATHER PACKAGE (HEATED SEATS, MIRRORS, AND WINDSHIELD-WIPER DE-ICER). I LOVE MOST ASPECTS OF MY SUBARU, HOWEVER, THE TOUCHSCREEN ON THE COUNSEL HAS AN ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLY BLINDING GLARE WHEN THE MOONROOF COVER IS OPEN TO LIGHT. I HAD TO GET A PIECE OF FELT TO PUT OVER THE SCREEN SO THAT WHEN I WANT TO OPEN THE MOONROOF I AM ABLE TO COVER THE TOUCHSCREEN GLASS TO PREVENT A WRECK FROM HAVING LOST ROAD VISIBILITY! I HAVE SINCE VISITED OTHER VEHICLES WITH SIMILAR TOUCHSCREENS - THESE MANUFACTURER MAKE/MODEL TOUCHSCREENS DO NOT HAVE ANY GLARE AT ALL! WHAT'S UP WITH SUBARU NOT CORRECTING THIS INCREDIBLE SAFETY FLAW? BY THE WAY, DON'T EVEN BOTHER WITH AN "ANTI GLARE SCREEN COVER". IT IS DIFFICULT TO APPLY CORRECTLY AND WHEN ON IT JUST BARELY CUTS DOWN ON THE MISERABLE GLARE. IN ADDITION, THE WINTER WEATHER CAUSES THE APPLICATION (COVER) TO WARP AND BECOME QUITE FOGGY AND UGLY. IT APPEARS THAT THE TOUCHSCREEN SUN GLARE SAFETY ISSUE IS ACROSS MULTIPLE SUBARU MODELS. HTTP://WWW.SUBARUOUTBACK.ORG/FORUMS/138-GEN-5-2015-PRESENT/163825-GLARE-REFLECTION-INFOTAINMENT-UNIT-5.HTML
