Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The 2005 chrysler pt cruiser has metallic-silver dash inserts around the instrument cluster and covering the passenger air bag compartment. when the sun is high in the sky the glare from the metallic-silver instrument panel is blinding. the glare is so bright it leaves spots in your eyes. the molded curves above the instruments seem to concentrate the sun??s energy. my wife is shorter and is able to adjust the top of the steering wheel to block the reflection. i am unable to do this and still handle the steering wheel comfortably. i placed electrical tape on the panel just above the center instrument to block the glare. *nm
