| Description of the problem | The decorative silver strips on the dashboard underneath both of the dash air vents causes a major reflection in both the driver's and passenger side view mirrors when driving in bright sunlight. This is a major distraction and in traffic could cause you to miss seeing a vehicle beside you. These strips need to be replaced with the faux wood look on some of the mkc models. Can't believe they never noticed this in the design process. Is noticable when parked or in motion. Happens everyday if the sun is shining |
