    Rain Sensor Issues

    I have a problem with my rain sensor detecting water on any setting. Windshield was replaced and I think that is the cause. Are the any ways to troubleshoot or adjust setting to make wipers function correctly.....
    Thanks

    Not that I've read.

    I've read countless threads about aftermarket glass not playing well with the sensor, though.

    Yeah, unfortunately it seems like if we want continued functionality we have to pony up for the OEM stuff. PITA

    Mine hasn't worked since day 1. Had windshield replaced and still no dice. Bogus. That was one of the features I was looking forward to with this car.

    Wasn't the OE glass on our cars Pilkington? I remember some of it being Pilkington and some a different brand.

    My buddy needed a new windshield for his 550. Jumped through hoops to get his insurance to cover OEM glass then found the installer that does all the work for the local BMW dealer. After all of that the guy shows up to do the install and we start talking about the sensor and aftermarket glass. He was adamant that the glass is never the problem, it is always from a poorly installed sensor or they tried to reuse the old sensor. He said there is no way to remove the sensor from the glass without destroying the adhesive and it's still tricky to get a new one on the glass perfectly with absolutely no air bubbles.
