Well, I have to say-as supportive as Safelite was, it certainly would have been easier if they had done it right the first time. If this is an insurance job- maybe you have other options?

you dont need to wait for rain, make sure your wiper stalk is in the 1st position (putting it into the first position from "rest/0" will trigger the wipers once)
once its in the 1st position and you have no rain.. it should not move obviously, then get a spray bottle of water and spray water onto the sensor which should trigger the wipers.
while you are there, if you are in the garage, make sure your LCM is set to AUTO and your lights should be on, then take something like your phone with the LED/FLASH on or a flash light and shine it into the sensor and the lights should shut off in 5 seconds or less.

Yes, thanks for this: I knew about the rain sensor part. My sensor problem was a bit more complex, in that the wipers responded differently depending on how hard it is raining: thus a real world test is best for me.

So far so good on my end.
Shout out to NJ Manufacturers Insurance who approved the $661 BMW glass for my 12 year old car. The Safelite tech must have told me ten times that he couldn't believe they approved the BMW glass-- he said he's seen companies deny OE glass on one year old cars.
Safelite started by verifying my rain sensor worked (he said that's required now as people are blaming them for non-functioning rain sensors that weren't working before the glass swap). Out with the old, in with the new, and verified the rain sensor was working.
I won't know for sure if everything is good until I drive her in the rain, but she passed the spray bottle test.
So at the end of the day, I got lucky and got a BMW windshield for my $50 deductible.
