Had a search for this but the threads don't go anywhere so I'm going to see if anyone else has this problem.
Having had the car for just over 2 months now I'm finding the reflection of the shiny silvery coloured instrument binnacle of the dash quite intrusive in my eyeline. Its like looking through an opaque half-moon most of the time.
Obviously this time of year autumn/winter sunshine is hard on the eyes but I also find it pretty bad even on a dull day with the sky solid grey (light or dark grey which we get a lot of up here btw).
Even night driving with the street lights causes quite a bad reflection and its very obvious to me.
Now, I'll admit I have my seat cranked right up to highest setting as that's the way I like to drive and probably this doesn't help but I'm way past wanting to drive lying on my back with a burberry cap on.
Anyone else find this reflection annoying ?
Or are there anti-reflective products on the market that you can coat the inside of the windscreen with or even replace the windscreen with an anti-reflective one.
As a last resort I might have to resort to cutting a piece of that black dashboard anti-slip material to place over the binnacle.
It is something I think car designers should address more as its not only the Leon that I have been bothered with in the past but its by far the worst.
Don't be smart and tell me to let the dash get dusty
Now I'm in gripe mode I also have been nearly blinded by the sun shining from the side/rear quarters on the SEAT logo on the steering wheel.....not too much of a problem in this country but I'd imagine in 'hotter' climes this would be pretty bad.
