Hi,

As has been mentioned in other threads aluminium facia trim reflects quite prominently on side windows etc.

Does any one know whether (front) side window tinted glass 'cures' this problem?

Cheers,

I noticed this and a reflection in the pass side mirror when I first got the ML. Actually I got used to it and do not even think about it any more. Believe it was Greg W who first mentioned this.

Cheers,
Tinted glass only makes it worse. As Sosh says, you don't notice it so much after a while.
