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.

    Dash Cam 3M Adhesive Pad Alternative

    Can anyone suggest an alternative to the 3M self adhesive pads used to attach dashcam brackets to the windscreen? Every dashcam I've had always succumbs to the same problem every summer, in that the adhesive of the pad fails when it gets hot in the sun. Leaving aside permanent adhesives like...

    Windscreen washer empty warning

    Ok so I understand that if no water comes out of the jets it probably means I have run out of water. But! Is there no warning or sensor to say when it is low? Very common car feature I would have expected so was surprised when I was out of water.

    Windscreen Sun. Shade

    Hi, Has anyone found a good sunshade that fits on the inside? Tried one from Amazon and it is pretty useless. There's a custom one from snap shades but that's quite expensive. Many thanks in advance.

    Windscreen Sun Shade

    I've struggled to find a car windscreen sun shade that fits the MG4 as it's hight to width ratio is different to other cars. No surprise there then ? I eventually came across these on Amazon. The medium size seem the best option, not perfect but fit better then the rest. https://amzn.eu/d/iJjLnzq

    Windscreen wipers

    I haven't seen any discussion about the lack of a rear wiper in the MG4. I was out in some heavy showers this afternoon and found myself repeatedly reaching for something that wasn't there. There were raindrops on the rear windscreen but having said that I could still see out. How are people who...

    Windscreen washer freezing

    I left my MG5 ev in freezing conditions at Glasgow Airport for two weeks. When I returned the screenwash was completely frozen. Because there is no heat from the engine we drove most of the 130 back to Aberdeen with no screen wash. Any advice? Ian Bennett

    Possible MG ZS EV Windscreen Fault

    I've had the MG ZS Trophy Connect a few months now. Over the last couple of days I've heard a worrying noise from the windscreen (my daughter has the same problem in her MG ZS EV). It sounds as if the windscreen is about to shatter at any moment. Windscreen is in good condition with no chips...

    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...
