The silver radio faceplate - standard equipment on my new 2008 Ford Escape creates such a glaring reflection in my windshield that it obscures my view of objects in front of the car. I have one eye - monocular vision, which makes this even more of a problem. I contacted the Ford dealership and they referred me to Ford motor company who will not support that this is a problem.
