| Description of the problem | While driving said vehicle into the sun, the installed factory chrome decorative trim shines back into the drivers eyes making it very hard to read the car instruments, the trim area shines like diamonds into the drivers eyes even with sunglasses on in the arizona sun, this also very distracting. European cars are not built with this distraction. The drivers seat ( center ) does not align with the steering wheel, it is offset to the right of center of the wheel by 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch, the seat also rubs very hard against the center counsel, so hard that the seat squeaks as it rubs onto the counsel. The manufacture has failed to address this problem. Seat may also jam at some point with this problem. |
