UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
The dash design has a high gloss smooth painted surface with highly polished aluminum trim. The dash is at an angle that reflects light badly blinding the driver. Because the dash is at a similar angle on a large area, sometimes it’s impossible to position your hand to block all of the glare. It’s extremely dangerous when conditions are right. The polished aluminum should be overlaid with a semi gloss plastic trim and the paint needs coated with a clear matting agent to make them safe.
