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.

    MG Smart App and rear heated windscreen

    I have a facelift MG5 Trophy and I'm very pleased with it. The app works (mostly) as advertised - it's very nice to heat up the car before getting in! One thing I have noticed though is that if you turn on the read window heater in the app, it says it's doing it, but the elements don't turn on...

    Rear windscreen demister

    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...

    Chipped Windscreen

    Has anyone had a new windscreen fitted yet after a chip? My insurance links me with Auto Windscreens but there site does not recognise the MG4? Has anyone had any joy getting a new one or should I refer to my dealer? Thanks

    rear wiper water leak under vin windscreen window.

    Hello all, I hope you are all ready for this time of year. I have noticed that there is no water getting to the rear wiper spray. When I turn the knob to spray the rear window, I can hear water hitting plastic behind the dashboard. On closer inspection, when turning the rear spray knob, the...

    Windscreen washer bottle

    I've not needed to fill the washer fluid yet, is there a indicator on the dash when the fluid needs filling or will it just run out?

    Windscreen washers freezing up very easily

    Is anyone else having issue with their washer jets freezing up? I filled my washer bottle with ready to use screen wash that contains anti freeze this weekend but when i set off to work today, i was only able to clean my windows a couple of times then they stopped working. I will assume the...

    Windscreen Frost Protector

    I'm thinking of getting a windscreen frost cover as it's looking quite likely that my first experiences with the MG4 are going to be rather governed by the current cold snap. I don't pick the car up until next week, so I wonder if I could ask some nice kind person on here if they wouldn't mind...

    Auto Defrost of Front Windscreen Around Camera Housing?

    Hello everyone. My six-month old LR MG5 lives outside and has been standing for 48 hours in these freezing (for the UK) temperatures. I’ve noticed that the front windscreen is defrosting itself around the camera housing. This evening I thought I’d better check the 12v battery charge and was...

    Windscreen camera misting

    I've had my HS PHEV for almost 2 years now without any problems until yesterday. The auto headlight dip stopped working and I noticed that the camera was no longer reading speed limit signs. I can see that the windscreen is misting up in front of the camera. Some other manufacturers have a mod...

    Smeared Windscreen

    I have never had a car which has such a smeared screen. Its like a grease on the outside that you can see when there is sunlight or street lights directly on it. It is very hard to drive. I have tried all sorts of degreasers and cleaners but no luck. any ideas. It is only noticeable when it...

    Windscreen Washers

    Bit of a random one regarding windscreen washers. Does anyone else’s change depending on speed? If I’m not moving the fluid hits in the bottom 1/4 of the screen, if I’m driving at about 30 mph it’s perfect landing about halfway up the screen, and then motorway speed it’s either flying over the...

    Windscreen camera power

    Does the MG4 Trophy have a USB power outlet on or near the mirror for a camera, or will I need to thread the cable to the lower sockets?

    I-Smart windscreen clearing

    Hi all Well the Black Trophy is now sitting on the driveway :) Very happy with the car Question is, on the I-Smart app I can only find remote control of the AC, on youtube videos I thought I’d seen the option for window defrost as well. Is this only offered when the temperature is below 0?

    A/C not blowing on windscreen in auto mode

    When selecting auto mode on the A/C menu it redirects air to where is needed such as the cabin rather than the windscreen but In past cars that have had climate control in auto mode there will always be a portion of air directed at the windscreen to stop it fogging up etc. I have checked the...

    Dashboard reflections in windscreen

    I haven't been able to find a thread on this subject except in the MGZS forum. Driving down country lanes with trees shading the road edge and in bright sunshine the reflections off the dashboard top in the windscreen makes seeing bicyclists/pedestrians on the side of the road quite challenging...
