General sensor information
The following information is provided to help distributors and glass technicians to avoid claims related to windshields with sensors.

1. Pre-inspection and functionality test
Prior to the removal of all windshields with sensors, functionality needs to be proofed by spraying water onto the glass.

For combined rain and lightsensors the lightsensor functionality needs to be proofed by darkening the lightsensor section on the outside of the windshield.

A sensor that does not operate correctly on the original glass will also not work on the newly installed windshield. Sensors not operating correctly need to be calibrated from the local OEM dealership before the broken windshield is replaced.

2. Sensor hints and tips
To assure correct testing of the sensor functionality make sure that all vehicle doors are closed and the motor is running.

Example: All Mercedes Benz vehicle sensors will only operate when all doors are closed. This avoids that wipers splash water entering the vehicle and keeping the driver or passenger dry.

Do not turn the ignition on or listen to the vehicle's radio while the windshield with sensor is removed. The electronic device will come out of adjustment and will need to be recalibrated. This happens because the unit receives the wrong information without the installed windshield.

3. Glass thickness, tints, coatings and PVB interlayers on windshields w/ sensors
Today's windshields are offered with different tints, coatings and may have reflective or acoustic interlayers.

A windshield with rain and/or lightsensor is developed to operate with the specific windshield parameters. The electronic device which attached to the optical unit processes the incoming data and reports the information to the electronic controller which activates the wipers and/or headlights.

By changing the originally installed windshield (tint, coating, interlayer, thickness) the electronic device may need to be changed as well.

Example: A Mercedes Benz C-Class windshield in Solarextra Blue tint (FW 02473) has a different electronic device attached than the green/grey tinted (FW02271) glass for the same C-Class vehicle.
