rain senser

[craig2.2]

please can anyone help what glue(stuff?) is used to stick the senser to the screen and is it hard to remove thanks

The housing , or the actual sensor itself ?
The sensor just unclips from the metal bracket on the screen , but the actual fitting bracket is bonded to the screen and won't come off.

ive got a new one coming as mines not working so does it just unclip because from the out side looking in it looks like theres some sort of bond?

Well that's a new one on me ken , in the 7 years I've been fitting screens

What you can see from the outside is the gel pad of the sensor , the cover comes off inside , splits in 2 pieces , then the sensor is held on by 2 metal retaining springs , when you have popped these off , just prize the sensor away from the glass bracket with a small terminal driver.

lets just say i was supriced aswell.. got new windscreen (due to i fitted rainsensor), the bracket was on the new screen as new.. but 1 day at a hot summer day, the bracket fell off.. got a new screen fittet 3 monts ago as it cracked due to a stone.., so i sent the bracket to glen to test fit it on his car..
