Consumer Description
DRIVING SOUTH ON COUNTRY ROAD IN BRIGHT SUN. THE SUN WAS REFLECTING OFF THE HORIZONTAL DASHBOARD. CAUSING A REFLECTION OFF THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. HAMPERING MY VISION, ALMOST CAUSING ME TO HIT A PERSON ON A BICYCLE. MY VISION WAS IMPAIRED BY THE REFLECTING LIGHT FROM THE DASHBOARD ONTO THE INSIDE OF MY WINDSHIELD. PREVENTING A CLEAR VISION OF THE ROAD AHEAD OF ME. SEE PHOTOS. I FIXED MY PROBLEM BY INSTALLING A BLACK FELT CLOTH AND LAYING IT ON THE DASHBOARD. THE SUN DOES NOT REFLECT FROM THE BLACK FELT. MY PROBLEM WAS SOLVED.
