Rain sensor retrofit

[Dav06gab]

I have plugged in sensor after changing configuration and it works as it should be however I need to attach it to the windscreen, I have 2 plastic trims and rear view mirror blank attachment and wondering where can I get the actual sensor clip with what looks like gel pad (picture attached) or do I need a specific windscreen.

The windscreens come with the painted border and the plastic part the clips engage on already installed.
I think you'll have to change the screen.

Thanks Dave, thought that was the case, it will make sense to upgrade to heated screen as bcm and dash switch wiring is present. Under driver seat connection point what colour of the cable should I be looking for to see if the heated screen has been wired in ?
Also do anyone know how much fully fitted heated/rain sensor type windscreens are ?

[v8dave]

The battery fuse box are fuses 4 and 6 which feed the two halves of the windscreen.
Cables are brown with a red trace and green with a red trace at that fuse box.

You also need relays 22 and 26 in the fuse box in front of the bcm.

Last time I had a screen fitted it was £150 all in, done by my local independent fitter who came to me.
Less than the glass excess on some policies.

Much appreciated Dave. Both fuses are present at the fuse box, I do have a spare dashboard switch and fuse box with relays so could put them in. Good point, £150 sounds very reasonable.

Would be very surprised if you can get supplied and fitted for 150 sheckles, its probably close to that for the screen alone, i did see a company selling heated screen on ebay for 150 so you never know ....ask aboot your local mob like V8 said

Cheap generic screen supply and fit cost me 250 cash, it didn't have the correct rain sensor fitting either if I recall. I used pu18 though and it stuck like a clinker so did work.

Check insurance excess as they are usually 70 quid but requires a bit of nerve as you'd need to damage your screen and hope that telling them it is heated and they fit a heated rather than a shiny new unheated screen

Nearly forgot, don't rev it up when the screen is turned on as it'll overload and blow it (no it won't)

Just had a heated screen with rain sensor fitted £220 when I was getting van painted.
Screen got pulled out before painting then new one refitted after

Not completely but did have a few big chips in it one right Infront of me which annoyed me when bringing it up the road, and knowing what I'm going to be asking it to do I decided to pay the extra and get a solid one rather than have it crack on me through stress.
Biggest dilemma was both sides were working. If one or both sides hadn't been it'd of been an easy decision.
