Additional information about the service
The rain sensor is responsible for automatically activating the wipers by detecting moisture on the windshield. Over time or after a windshield replacement, it may fail, making wiper control inconvenient or even impossible. Rain Sensor Replacement is an important procedure that restores comfort and safety during rain or snow.
Diagnosis and Preparation
Our specialists begin by checking the operation of the current sensor and the condition of the wipers. Sometimes the issue is not only with the sensor but also with the rubber blades that may not clean the glass effectively. We carefully inspect all components to ensure that the problem lies with the sensor. Before replacement, we gently remove the faulty sensor without damaging the windshield or the electronics.
Replacement Process
After removing the old sensor, we install the new one, carefully selecting the location and mounting for proper operation. It is crucial to connect the device correctly to the vehicle's system so that the sensor accurately responds to changes in moisture. If necessary, our technicians will adjust the sensitivity to ensure the wipers activate at the right time and do not interfere when it is not raining.
Testing and Maintenance Tips
After installation, we thoroughly test how the sensor performs under different conditions - with dry, damp, and wet glass. We will also provide guidance on keeping the windshield clean and maintaining the wiper blades to ensure the sensor lasts longer and operates smoothly. If the blades are worn, we will recommend replacing them, as only together do they provide good visibility and safety.
