Is there anybody out there who did NOT break any tabs off from the base plate of your Rain Sensor during your Homelink mirror installation?
I know for sure three of you did so far - and I am victim #4 (actually the technician at my dealer broke it).
As far as I know (from one of our forum member's experience) there is only one fix: windshield replacement.(gun)
Something is just not right around the rain sensor cover and/or base plate tabs. Looks like nobody can remove the rain sensor and / or rain sensor cover without snapping off the baseplate tabs. These tabs are supposed to hold the rain sensor module and its cover! If the sensor is not secured properly, the wiper may start working anytime when the sensor moves under the windshield when in AUTO mode.
BE VERY CAREFUL when removing the rain sensor!!! Be sure that the latches on BOTH SIDE of the sensor module are RELEASED, and after that you can try to pull the module off from its baseplate.
The picture shows the broken tabs on the right hand side.
Despite the installation issues the Homelink mirror with the auto dimming feature and compass is GREAT!!!! I highly recommend it. Should you need more details of my lessons learned before your Homelink mirror installation, send me a PM.
