So my car has serious issues with windscreen reflections so I try and get CPL filters on where possible now to workaround it.
Previously I tried a small CPL I had (27mm) on the G90:
It was too little and caused vignetting etc.
@Sabe used a 30.5mm filter which blends in with the camera better than the 52mm but cannot be re-used easily:
So I took a different route with my LS4xx cameras and went down the route of buying a 52mm filter and the relevant step up adaptor which means I can also use the CPL filter with my DSLR camera.
I bought a 39-52mm step up adaptor from here:

This works but the 37-52mm adaptor would probably be better on the G90.
Pictures speak a thousand words so here you go.
You can see with the 39-52mm step up you need a fair bit of 3M tape to keep it hanging on there - the 37mm should be better.
I stuck the Mobius on there to try and get a comparison of how sunny it was today and how bad the reflections are.
So here are some pics from yesterday showing the issues with the reflections - these show the reflections between the Mobus and the G90 were similar without a CPL, in fact the G90 suffered even more than the Mobius.
