Yes indeedy: please see five posts up ^^
Ah, missed that post.
What brand of glass did you get? Some aftermarket glass messes with our rain sensing windshields for some reason, and I don't think there is a fix for that particular issue other than replacing it with quality glass. If you have a BMW branded replacement, or a quality aftermarket replacement, maybe that calibration would for you...
We can give it a try if you want, though Maine is a hefty drive from me (6+ hours). We'd have to plan the trip right to make it a one day affair.
Bumping an old thread for the sake of spreading knowledge...
After a terrible experience having my windshield replaced, they broke my 4 pin rain sensor connector in half.
This connector is pretty common on our E46 and newer model BMW's. I went to the junkyard and harvested a bunch of them off other E46 and E90/92 chassis's. Newer BMW's are a slightly updated design and seem to be stronger. Both fit the same and will work.
This connector and it's pins are made by AMP/Tyco/TE Connectivity.
Now the pins...

For most wiring 20-24AWG here is your part number, 928999-1 . This is the correct size I needed to do my 4 pin Rain sensor connector and works for most other connectors on the car. They are available in other AWG sizes as well.
I ordered from Digi-Key for 18 cents a piece.
These are the same style connectors offered by BimmerNav for roughly $1 a piece.
The plug/connector opens up easy enough from the sides, you should be able to tell how it hinges open. Use a pick or your finger nail.. Then using a pick tool from the top press down on the pin while pulling the wire out. It will initially unlock and pull back, then you press it a second time to release for good and come out of the connector.
So, If you ever snap a connector and are OCD like me, here's your solution for a factory fix.
Glad you figured that out/good for us to have the info.
