Reflections from Instrument Cluster (2023)

Hi all, this is my first visit and it's great to be here.
I love my new(ish) Jimny, it's a 24 plate (but 2023 registered) black LCV.
My wife and I have independently noticed that there are reflections coming from the two main dials on the instrument cluster. The dial windows are convex in shape and cause reflections of my own eyeballs(!) when I'm driving. It's slightly odd and slightly distracting. Has anyone else noticed this? It makes me think there is something in my eye, but there isn't. Your candid thoughts are appreciated! I've tried to capture a photo of it, but it just doesn't show the problem on camera!

Yes, Sadly an issue, it makes you wonder what the hell they were doing at Suzuki, did they never drive the car during development!

I have never notice this in the just over 6 years of ownership. Does it disappear if you move slightly? Just wondering moving the seat one notch forward or back would make a difference?

I'm only 5'6" and like I say never noticed it either. I have the backrest of the seat pretty upright as well.

I can’t say I have ever noticed a reflection, but to me, especially when it is sunny and wearing sunglasses I find the instruments (speed and revs) very dark and difficult to read. Mind I thought my Gen3 was the same.
