window frames - gap

[FiferMG4]

If you skip to 5.38 on this vid there seems to be a plastic cover at the top rear of the front door ?

Similar to the ZS one.

I am wondering now if they ran out of these and have just not been fitting them?

 

[Deleted member 10041]

That's pretty poor to be fair, hopefully there is a reason they stopped using them when the car went into full production

 

[Deleted member 9909]

Do we have any proof they stopped using them? Can anyone with the same model tell if they are fitted on their vehicle or not? If not fitted it is a QA issue not a missing part. Over to another owner for confirmation please

They're fitted on my Trophy front & back. Car was one of the first delivered at the end of September.

Edit: To clarify I mean front & back doors. There is only one per door.

 

[Deleted member 9909]

OK so it could just be a missing part(s) that the dealership needs to order in to resolve this decorative finishing issue? Let's not jump the gun on not fitting them until we see more evidence

I have not seen the plastic covers on any other MG4.

Just to avoid misunderstandings, I am talking about the window frame near to the front mirrors. The plastic covers in the upper window frame corner are present.

Confusion reigns...can owners look at their drivers door and see if plastic trim is fitted on any corner of the door or any corner of the frame inside or out. The earlier pictures, in my mind, are confusing re position of welds and possible trim....help

It looks like from the first set of pictures it is the front of the door...no trims just poor finishing and the other picture is rear of the doors with trim. Is that correct?

If the first set of pictures are the door rears at the top then yes just missing trims!

 

[AndyM]

There are no plastic trims on the corners by the wing mirrors.

Welds on mine look OK. I've seen better but they're certainly nothing like OPs photos

Checked mine the other day and all seams look good, no gaps and good paint. (Red Trophy)

And trim at the back top corner of each door?

 

[Deleted member 9909]

So Chris, confusion re trims ends. The front where you have the issue is trimless in all vehicles. You car has poor finishing by the looks of it but I would want reassuring from the dealership that it's not structural and just finishing. Given it is not structural they should be able to sort this out easily in their bodyshop I would hope.

Hi Alan,

thanks. Reassurance reg. structural stability and corrosion is exactly what I am aiming for. Once that's settled I'll be good, when the final paint job is ?.

I am glad thought to see this is not an widespread issue.

And trim at the back top corner of each door?

YES

 

[pd2]

I believe it’s this joint here if anyone is still confused

 

[siteguru]

Ah ok - at the crease in the front quarter light.

In Australia, the MG4 does have a rear windscreen wiper.

In Australia, the MG4 does have a rear windscreen wiper.

Here and the rest of the world to, if it is a 2023 model (what we cal phase 2) as 2022 models do not have it (do not be confused of 22 and 23, it is not the year they are produced but actuall model designations).
