So, take that for what you will.  |
The point is acceptable viewing ALL the time......... If your happy with a non factory installed aftermarket windshield on a BMW because you can still see the image its probably not going to be the same clarity as the engineers intended yes? You state the image was not as bright which ='s degraded. Especialy in Arizona in direct sun. Speaking of C5/C6 Corvettes use the blocked area within the window for this propose as well as ANY aftermarket kit includes the strip for the best possible viewing. SO from my view the strip is there for a purpose just like the factory window is prepared for a BMW. Nuff said
