Rain Sensor: Removal
CAUTION:
- Do not damage or touch the silicone (coupling medium).
- Be careful so that the silicon is not contaminated by foreign substances, dust, etc..
- Use caution, as the silicon may be damaged if you try to separate the rain sensor forcibly.
Information
- The dust or foreign substance on the rain sensor may have bad influence on the performance of the rain sensor. In order to ensure accurate function of the rain sensor, protect the sensor surface with the protection cover until the sensor is installed on the bracket.
- The coupling pad on the rain sensor surface is adhesive and the coupling pad may stick to the windshield during the use depending on the environment condition.
Therefore, it may be damaged when you try to remove the rain sensor from the windshield forcibly. Use caution when separating it from the windshield.
- Remove the multi sensor cover (A) & (B).
- To remove the latch, pull aside the latch using the cover hole with a small flat-blade screwdriver (A).
- Remove the rain sensor.
- Insert a small flat-blade screwdriver (-) into a space at the bottom or top, between the rain sensor and bracket.
- Pull the rain sensor slowly up and down in the vertical direction of the glass, then disassemble the rain sensor slowly from windshield without damaging the silicone on the sensor.
NOTE:- It may be damaged when you try to remove the rain sensor from the windshield forcibly. Use caution when separating it from the windshield.
- When detaching the silicone under a high temperature, it may be easily damaged because of the adhesive strength of the silicone. Remove the silicone in a cool environment.
- Disconnect the wiring harness connector (A) from the rain sensor by inserting a small flat-blade screwdriver into the space.
