it's all perfect guys! the MG ZS rear wiper blade fits and gives that extra cleaning coverage.
here's the link I bought from
.yeah, it's rather strange indeed. I don't see how much cost savings it will be for them when it's already a widely produced item though. or just them trying to find ways for owners to buy it through them - quite similar to how they started making the frunk for some of their older models.Thanks for letting the forum know !.
I find it a bit strange why MG did not use the blade from the ZS in the very first place then, rather than designing a different sized blade and to produce one tbh ????.
Unless it was cheaper of course
.ah yeah, haha. I was referring to the manufacturing cost savings since they reduced everything by at least 20% - 30%. which sounds like a big change on statistics but in actual dollars, probably small.The cost saving I referred to is made because MG should just used the blade on the ZS EV.
Its a blade that they already are installing on another model, so no design / drawings / R&D required etc etc.
Plus they coukd have remaining stock of the blade from the ZS EV that they have not consumed ?.
Designing and producing a new smaller blade for the S5 does not make any sense ?.
It requires a new part number / cataloging, then stocking or ordering at every dealership, when the ZS EV blade will not only fit correctly, but it does a better job of clearing the rear window, due to its slightly increased blade sweep.
Why make a completely new smaller size blade for the S5 when the ZS EV blade is better ?.
Thanks for proving that the longer blade from the ZS EV is a compatible fit onto the S5.
I will be ordering one for our S5
