windscreen

The windshield (North American English) or windscreen (Commonwealth English) of an aircraft, car, bus, motorbike, truck, train, boat or streetcar is the front window, which provides visibility while protecting occupants from the elements. Modern windshields are generally made of laminated safety glass, a type of treated glass, which consists of, typically, two curved sheets of glass with a plastic layer laminated between them for safety, and bonded into the window frame.
Motorcycle windshields are often made of high-impact polycarbonate or acrylic plastic.

    MGS5 Windscreen.

    I decided to upgrade from my ZS EV face lift to the MGS5 and it arrived and was ready for pick up on 22nd May from W H Brand (Spalding). Excellent, even got the colour I wanted this time. One week later I got a stone hit on the windscreen and, lo and behold, one cracked windscreen. I was...

    Replacement Windscreen Availability

    Just had a windscreen damaged by a stone and it will need to be replaced. However, there appears to be a backlog on MG ZS Hybrid screens and although I have an appointment with my 'local' (36 miles) insurance company's preferred supplier for the 28th May, they now say there is little chance of...

    Windscreen crack appears out of nowhere

    My wife and I got in the car this morning after it had sat in the driveway all night, and she immediately noticed a reasonably long v-shaped crack on the windscreen, up high and in the middle. My view of it was obscured totally by the rear view mirror. I realise this sounds unlikely but we were...

    New Cyberster Windscreen!

    Last week a stone hit our windscreen and made a triple impact star pretty much in the middle of the screen. Autoglass just been to see it and concluded it needs complete replacement screen as overall damage area too large and too big a dip in the surface. Not surprisingly Autoglass don’t have...

    Washer Bottle Capacity

    I've had my MG4 Trophy now for over two years. When the windcreen washer appears to be running out I've felt that I'm not putting much into the reservoir before it tops out. Does anyone else think the capacity of the washer reservoir to be a bit pathetic? I've not measured how much I put in but...

    Windscreen Reservoir Service

    "Windscreen reservoir service" - Is this new main dealer bolloxspeak? I had my ZS EV in for it's service this week and after paying £300.02, I looked over the receipt and asked exactly what they'd done. He said they'd performed a visual inspection, increased the level of the brake fluid and...

    Something strange and annoying I noticed

    I was looking at the car from my upstairs window the other day and noticed that the sensor housing at the top of the windscreen is not central, it is more on the passenger side. Never had a car that has been like that, it looks strange, also it means there is an annoying gap at the side of the...

    Washer nozzles

    Can anyone tell me how to lift the washer nozzles on my MG4? The passenger side nozzle in particular is too low and liberally sprays below the windscreen. I don't want to bother the dealership, but I don't seem to be able to adjust it myself. There appears to be a slot on the nozzle - does this...

    Windscreen Leak Warranty Repair

    My two year old MG4 SE has started leaking, with water dripping from the seam between the drivers side pillar and headliner. There's no visible damage to the door seal or windscreen, so I suspect the sealant has failed on the windscreen. Has anyone had similar issues, and success getting this...

    Windscreen wiper obstructed by bonnet

    I've got a 64 essence in Australia. Usually when washing my car I flip the windscreen wipers up, to wash the windscreen. The wiper on the driver side wont flip up as it catches on the bonnet. Is this a design flaw or a cunning Chinese joke?

    Rain sensor windscreen wipers

    Hi, I am finding that, when on auto, the windscreen wipers work intermittently even when it isn't raining, so I have to turn them off. When on auto I also have to adjust the speed according to the amount it is raining. Is this normal? Thanks.

    What about you?

    Does the rear windscreen wiper have an "open" mechanism? Is this also the case on your MG3 ??
