Visibility/wiper
I JUST SWAP MY VOLVO S90 2018 FOR A VOLVO V90-CC 2020. THIS VEHICLE HAS A EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF WINDSHIELD GLARE FROM THE DASHBOARD & HEADS-UP DISPLAY THAT CREATES A GREAT AMOUNT OF DISTRACTION AND VERTIGO WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAN CREATE SUCH OF DISTRACTION THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. PLEASE HELP US REVIEW THIS ISSUE. *TR
