The reflection was anoying, before I spend a pretty buck on some excellent sunglasses (maui Jims), now the glare is completly gone, even though I have to wear them when the sun is not out. I once thought my a/c was the pits, untill I checked the Duel control, the passenger side was set at at 75 :wacko: now with it set at 60, my car cools down quite nice. But I do keep the BAMR shade closed on sunny days. As far as the noise in the tranny, I dont have that.
