I've had my mg5 short rang for about a month and have noticed the rear heated windscreen doesn't work on the bottom 3 lines. Initially the dealer's sticker was over them. I've contacted the dealership and they have removed the sticker and looked at the rest of the mg5 in stock which they bought at the same time as mine. There conclusion was they are all the same but they said they would contact MG to see if this was a faulty batch. The question is. Has all the MG 5s got this problem?
Yes i have the long range MG5 and the lower 3 lines do not work i have reported the fault no answer .

The bottom 3 lines of rear screen 'heater' are the aerial of the DAB radio.

Gary if you look back in the thread #12 #13 you will find there all the answers for you from a year or so back. There is no difference in any MG 5 models SR LR or even the newer up lifted model recently released the the same bottom couple of lines are for the radio and not heaters crap I know but that’s how it is.
The MG 4 is the same all models plus it as no rear wiper.

Also if you look carefully those tracks are not connected to the actual heater element above, there is a small gap.
