Major windshield glare. Not sure if it's the angle of the windshield, the brushed-plastic type dash that seems highly reflective, or a combination of the two... but when sunlight hits the dashboard, it creates a glare on the windshield. Depending on the angle of the sun, it can become extremely difficult to see through and poses a high risk at anything in a shaded area (like driving from sunny road through shaded patch). The glare is noticeable in low light and at night when passing street lamps/traffic lights. On a scale of 1-10... the night/low light visibility is around 1 or 2 but when you have the sun glaring on it, it's more of a 8-9. temporary solution would most likely be a dash mat but maybe re-design or different material used would be better suggestion for the manufacturer.
