Installing rain sensor
Note. An adhesive pad must be used when reinstalling the rain sensor. When fitting the adhesive pad, make sure there is no air trapped between the windscreen and the adhesive pad or between the adhesive pad and the rain sensor. When installing the adhesive pad, the temperature of the windscreen, rain sensor and adhesive pad must be approx 20°C. Carefully heat the windscreen with a hot-air gun for example. Do not touch the adhesive surface of the sensor with your fingers. If the sensor is new, remove the protection cap before sticking the sensor on to the windscreen. When sticking on a new sensor, make sure that no air pockets are caught between the gel and the windscreen. Air pockets could impair the function of the sensor. Sensor, orientation lights, wires and wiring ducts are spare parts.
