Limited functionality of the rain sensor when the following information points are not observed:

An adhesive pad must be used when reinstalling the rain sensor.
When assembling the adhesive pad, air should not be trapped between the windscreen and the adhesive pad or between the adhesive pad and the rain sensor.
When installing the adhesive pad, a temperature of approx 20°C for the windscreen, the rain sensor and the adhesive pad must be ensured. Carefully heat the windscreen with a hot-air gun for example.
The sensor on the sticking surface must not be touched by fingers.
If the sensor is new, remove the protection cap before the sensor is stuck onto the windscreen.
When sticking 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.

If the old rain sensor is installed: begin with the instructions in RAIN SENSOR REMOVAL PROCEDURE .
