| Description of the problem | We picked up a brand new subaru legacy yesterday and drove it approximately 75 home late in the afternoon. After i got on the interstate travelling east there was a terrible, blinding glare coming off the infotainment/climate control area. It is covered with a very glossy material. Some glare also came off the silver trim on the dashboard above the glovebox, and to the left of the driver console, but the worst is the infotainment screen. I was blinded, distracted, and ended up with a blinding migraine. Can't subaru come up with a non-glare film for this? |
