Forgive me if this has been mentioned already. I didn't want to go through 61 pages of 25 threads each to check it.
Read below and avoid this on the 2016 model, if it's not too late. Or maybe an aftermarket "fix".
So, I just bought 2015 Volt, and every day I am dodging blinding sunlight reflections off the chrome strip around the drivers "dash display", the chrome strip accenting the steering wheel, and even the chrome around the Chevy logo on the steering wheel.
I have positioned my steering wheel to block most of the reflections from the "dash display" but the curvature of the steering wheel cannot cover both the corners, and the center of the top edge of the chrome strip at the same time.
I can't believe no noticed this when testing out the car on a sunny mid day test. Maybe all the testing was done in overcast conditions.
I will be taping over the chrome strips with a non-reflective tape. I was avoiding doing that because I'm sure it will look tacky, but I'm tired of black spots in my eyes after getting blinded by the sun hitting the chrome highlights on the dash board and steering wheel.
Thank you.
