Hi fellow MG4 owners. Yesterday was the first day I had the chance to defrost my MG4. I fired up the front and rear screen demisters and waited. The wing mirrors defrosted, the front screen defrosted, and the back screen defrosted .... but only partially.
Upon inspection I can see that the bottom three "bars" of the rear demister appear to be separate from the rest of the screen. I can't see any damage on the traces, but it made me wonder. Are these just for show and are non-functional? Should the whole screen top to bottom be demisting/defrosting? If others have working bars on the bottom of the screen I'll get in touch with the dealer to arrange them to fix it.
I am thinking it probably is just for show because the top of those three bars doesn't even join to anything on the left or the right. It just stops without connecting to any vertical trace, so there wouldn't be a path for the electricity to take anyway! A very weird thing to include just for looks though.
Many thanks,
Stuart
