Sure they do. That thing has been standard on all cars for as long as I can remember.

Whoa buddy

1) I always carry those super plush griots garage microfiber cloths and and a bottle of spray on "car wash" to hit little dirty spots. But I really only ever do so when, say I'm going out on a date and want to impress or something. Otherwise a wash every 2 weeks or so keeps me happy as a lark.

2) Of course I get blinded. Esp. the rednecks (or otherwise) who brilliantly installed HIDS on their lifted trucks and never had them aimed or thought about other roadgoers. It's just part of the life in a low slung coupe. However, I can zip away from these fools cause BRZ.

As for getting blinded, if I'm stuck at a stop light when the blinding occurs, I try to maneuver my side mirrors in such a way as to blast the driver behind me.

I have always wondered just why Han had that helmet kicking around the ship! What was it meant for? Same with the laser ball they used. What was it's practical purpose? Not like Obiwan and Luke brought a bunch of stuff with them so it was there already.
