Adjust your seat.

I really don't see how this is a problem.

It's not like my GoldWing that is in direct sunlight.

That emblem sucks

Just buy a little square of some 3m Di-Noc carbon fiber wrap and apply over the logo. Or maybe paint it black or something.

This has happened to me in my S1...

Its mostly sun with the sunroof open. It doesn't happen often enough for me to do anything about it though. (Thank you Ohio weather)

Ok so maybe the di-noc is not a good idea. I have seen it used on logos on exterior. Has to be cut and applied it's not easy that small.

fo me the drive seems to line up with the sun.... i'll probably just paint it flat black. so does anyone know if the emblem can be peeled off and reused?
