Nothing you can do about it as far as I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Solution: Remove rear view mirror, fit rear view camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 due to the vertical rear window as said above, my 110 gives the same affect too. you soon get used to it just dip the interior mirror Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffR Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 My own reflection used to scare the living bejesus out of me when coming back from late night fishing trips, then I learnt to ignore it. Mind you I have a face that only a mother could love!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arfur Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I'm glad it's not just me. Worse seems to be because I have no rear wiper the rear screen is always covered in road dirt and the reflections can be brighter that the car behind. I was thinking about tinting the rear windows for security reasons. Wonder if that would help with the reflections? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco-Ron Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 tinting doesn't help, trust me. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nino Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 looks like it will have to go wuth the list of "deal with it" problems lol cant drilling and moving something 3 times help like i had to do to a light bar i had on my discovery that was causing a reflecting problem lol?

Disco-Ron Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 The only way i can think of dealing with it is to completely cover the inside of the window with a film, so you can't even see through it, which kand of defeats the idea of it being a window...! Add to that that it only happens in the dark, and it most likely a case of.... deal with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Tinting is unlikely to help unless you have frosted tinting, anything shiny will reflect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco-Ron Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Tinting makes it worse, fact Just what i siad 4 posts ago........... when i said covering it with a 'film' might help, i mean one that would look like the window had been painted.........

JimAttrill Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 It frightened the life out of me the first time. Now I don't even notice it or have learnt to ignore it. Funny that AFAIK it has never been mentioned on a forum before, but we all know about it. It's one of the things you get for free with the vehicle, like other drivers that wave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJB Serenity Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I just put a picture of a naked woman over the rear window so whenever I look into my rearview mirror I just see boobs. Sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick it on the mirror...then its more up close and personal . Might be an MOT fail though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
