    Because of the angle of the dash the light from it reflects on the windshield. The gauges can be dimmed but the odometer cannot. This cause a reflection in the direct line of sight. This reflection is a problem despite adjusting the seat and diming the gauges to full off. I have found a covering the entire gauge cluster with cardboard solves the problem.
