MG4 Twisted...

[OriginalBigAl]

That's got your attention hasn't it. Whilst waiting at the sheep food mill I was stood about 3m behind the car and noticed a design feature. When looking down the side the front and rear window frame stanchions on the drivers and passenger doors are at different angles . This means that the glass has to pre twisted to fit , and slide up and down the recesses / grooves . Checking out other cars in the car park and not many did that , opting for curved but un-twisted glass. Maybe that's a reason for some wind noise which seems to come from the higher portion of the frame if the glass and corresponding frame twists are slightly mis aligned or need slightly bigger clearance gaps/tolerances. Replacement glass may also come with a premium price tag?
Not sure if the same thing occurs on the BYD Dolphin but the MG designers appear to have done it on porpoise. Boom, Boom.

Hmmm.. damn click-bait. You sure it's twisted and not just an illusion from starting on the Minervois early today?

The thing is .... reporting this feature on a MG4 forum means its possibly the most verifiable and peer reviewed post that has ever been posted. Anyone with a MG4 and 30 seconds to spare can go ....mmmm, haven't noticed that before . My own personal view is it looks quite premium .
In fact non MG4 members can " borrow " one , when spotting one in a car park and then when caught in the act by the owner can say " Oi , mate don't yer know yer glass is obliquely aligned "?

" Oi , mate don't yer know yer glass is obliquely aligned "?

Yep, get that regularly.

I might try that, though probably won't say mate!

And thinking of you in France, isn't it the Citroen CX that had a strangely warped shape to its rear window?

This is going to be a bit hard to type , but after a bit of self analysis the words , utter pillock, seem to spring to mind . Looking at it again today from a lower perspective , on line with the mirrors , its all as you would imagine it should be. From the higher level of being on the pavement , well !!!
If anyone finds any marbles rolling around on the forum floor I'll have them back , no use to anyone else , warranty long expired. Measure twice cut once seems appropriate. A bit ish.
