Morning all,
Anyone else find the rear screen and rear camera get covered in c**p in the wet weather we have had recently?
Seems to be worse on the HS than any other similar hatchbacks or SUV's I've owned.
I assume it is the aerodynamics of the car, but any thoughts on whether rear mud flaps would help reduce the amount of spray kicked up?
To be honest, I think most of the models are very much the same.
We have a ZS EV LR and it’s the visibility via the rear view camera is not great, when the weather conditions are poor.
Hatchback type cars have this feature, where the road “smuts” is drawn back onto the hatch / tail gate of the car.
When they are travelling along, they seem to create some type of a vortex and drawn the road “smuts” up and deposit it onto the hatch / tailgate.
It is always the dirtiest part of the car in bad weather conditions.
Some VAG group cars had a great cure for this problem, they hid the rear view camera under the VW badge on the tail gate.
The badge would would lift up slightly, when the car was placed into reverse and close again, when forward motion was selected.
This keep the rear camera almost perfectly clean all year round.
The MG badge on the tail gate on the ZS EV could be made to do the same thing really, but it adds cost to the car of course.
