Foreign substances Fingerprint Damage Damage - In case the silicone of the rain sensor is damaged it should be replaced it as shown below.
- Remove the damaged silicone gel pad from the lens plate completely.NOTE:
- Be careful not to damage or contaminate the surface of the lens plate during removal.
- Attach the new silicone gel pad after removing the silicone paper (A) then remove the transparent film (B).
NOTE:- When attaching the silicone gel pad to the sensor, be careful not to contaminate
- Remove the damaged silicone gel pad from the lens plate completely.
- It is very important that the silicon (coupling pad) is completely pushed against the windshield and stuck without any air bubble.
- In case of replacing the damaged windshield, you may reuse the undamaged existing rain sensor.
- The windshield glass has to be clean and free of contamination or foreign substances.
- Connect the rain sensor connector.
- Push one of the latch of spring arm (A) down until it snaps and you hear a click sound.
