Thumbs down tinted window glare off metal dash on side view mirror

I got my tints done yesterday and i noticed today there is so much glare off the metal dash reflecting on my side view mirror. Its almost dangerous! i got 20 % all around if that matters. Anyone experience this?

I ended up sticking some dark tints over the metal dash so that it reflects all little less. Its not pretty but what else can i do?

Yep, sucks on mine too, kinda like the dash reflecting onto the windshield. Nothing you can do about it unless you want to rough up the trim. Shiny + shiny = blinding.

Also, this is not limited in any way, shape or form to just the GS. Our 2011 Jeep has this problem in spades. I guess there's a fine balance between beauty, style and safety. Of course, you can eliminate the issue entirely by always driving in the dark......
