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.

    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...

    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...

    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?

    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.

    Windscreen module (rain sensor gubbins etc). Has anyone removed its cover?

    The cover over the unit on the inside of the windscreen, behind the mirror. Has anyone removed it to investigate what's inside? How easy and are there any pitfalls?

    Rear windscreen wiper

    Is it normal that when in reverse, the rear windscreen wiper doesn't function? Today when leaving work I needed to clear the rear windscreen, but to do so I need to go back into neutral. Not the first time I've noticed, but seems like a flaw in the system. Is this the same with everyone else?

    Adjust the windscreen washer jet direction on HS PHEV 2021??

    Can anyone advise how to adjust the washer spray nozzle. In old days you just put a needle into hole, moved it accordingly and that was it. Not so now it seems. Thanks
