Pic request: Rain sensor from inside

BMW Maniac · 02-26-2009, 07:52 PM

I can actually see the wiring on my rain sensor......is it supposed to have a gap or should it be completely closed?

anyone please correct me if i'm wrong, but I don't think you should see anything, except for a little square in the black area (from the outside) where mirror holder meets windshield.

Yeah, i'm beginning to think something is wrong and it should be closed shut....I'll take a picture when i get home

If you are referring to the black plastic housing behind the mirror and up against the windshield, it should be closed. However, it apparently does not take much to cause it to open. I was cleaning the inside of my windshield and bumped the housing and it opened up. Simply squeeze it back together. There does not seem to be much of a latch to hold it together.
