    I got a very good deal on a 2018 Prius Prime through Costco auto program. My wife and I love the car. The increasingly annoying - and possibly dangerous -downside of the deal is that it came with what the dealer had available. This was a car with that odd back and white interior with most of the dashboard from driver to passenger side in white "leather". Depending on the rime of day, I found that the white color tends to reflect in the drivers side window and obscures the drivers side view mirror enough so I can't see what's coming on my left side I've used one of these black clingy sun blockers when it got really bad but that slides off once the static cling weakens.

    Has any one had this problem with white or light colored interior trim? What have you done to fix it? Thanks in advance for any help.

    perhaps an auto upholstery shop can do something

    Window tinting will make a big difference for the better.
