Rain Light Sensor Gel pad Replace

[@johnt2106]

The BEST explanation I've come across..... mine is stuffed because of incompetence of 'professionals' replacing a cracked windscreen !!

[@TodHanson-n6f]

Super helpful. For those of us without the fancy diagnostic computer, it isn’t required to perform the replacement.

[@piotrmitor1886]

Masterpeace. You are now my guru of all BMW features

[@MOvidiu]

Wow ! amazing! don't forgot to check my other videos!

[@Hancock_nl]

Always wondered how rain light sensor actually works. Thanks for detailed explanation 👍🏼

[@mikejohnson1228]

thanks for explaining why the gel is needed. I had to remove a bubbled gel pad and installed the lens directly to the glass, but still could not get the RLS calibrated. I'll install the gel pad now. Thanks very much.

[@somanshlala8620]

Wow! One of the most helpful videos I’ve seen online! Great explanation on how to do the job and how the sensor works. Just Amazing! Thank you very much!

[@MOvidiu]

Awesome, thank you!

[@JmsOL007]

i prefer the function of intermittent wiper with manuel interval setting, simple but works without failures

[@proooooost]

Thanks man, now I do now that swapping my old sensor to my new screen is possible.

[@JGV_IX]

Awesome! Great seeing you again! Let’s just appreciate the diversity of this channel - everything from a Rolls Royce to an E60’s sensor gel! 👏🏻

[@ryanhosein7640]

Hi and thanks for the info. I thought my sensor was bad or there was an electrical issue with my X6. I saw the gel leaking down the windscreen over a few days and just thought it was the glue that sticks the review mirror. I was way off. I know realize what is wrong. Thanks again.

[@fuzzs8970]

Thank you for your video. Very nice and useful

[@papiphantom2469]

Hope your channel grows even more good work your doing. Thanks.

[@sainath8710]

Hi, nice and informative videos. If their no jell on the sensor, the sensor won’t work? Kindly help me out on this because on my Q7 there’s no jell on it and error message pops up on the dash.

[@federicorodriguez1141]

Just what i was looking for

[@maksimgrinkov5857]

Amazing video, thank you!

[@NickJustKnows]

Nice video! I think I am having this problem with my 2020 G07 (X7) built 12/19. Under 5 years old at time of this comment, July 2024, and the adhesive around my rain sensor looks more cloudy like you showed at the beginning, instead of pitch black like your new gel layer shown at the end. My symptoms are: when using the Auto setting on the wipers, the light will turn on and off every few seconds - also showing "auto wipers malfunction" on the dash. Additionally, the wipers will activate on their own even if there is no rain while set to Auto. My error codes, according to Carly scanner, are: 8041BF "Signal from rain sensor is implausible" and 804487 "Rain sensor not calibrated to the windscreen." I do not believe the windscreen has ever been replaced- it looks like a 4-5 year old windshield with typical signs of wear and the typical BMW factory logos on it. I could be wrong. It's also likely the factory adhesive has prematurely failed, as my factory sharkfin antenna adhesive has also prematurely failed. If that is the case, BMW really needs to step up their glue game! 😅 I will check into this fix and report back with any updates. Thanks!

[@irishmexican21oc]

Fascinating. Thank you for this thorough explanation.

[@iuliand00m47]

So you also need the gel to get on the sensor or it need to not touch or cover the sensor?

[@cristirobert3223]

In sfarsit,a venit timpul sa il inlocuiesc si eu! Megane 3,e identic. Multumesc pentru video!

[@densmac]

What solution did you use to remove the gel from windscreen area?

[@mohamedelfadli3125]

Very helpful. Thank you.

[@Funj0b]

Would this work for my X5 F15 2017 as well? It does hardly anything when it's raining

[@asdhakjd]

Heey Ovi, nice seeing you again!

[@tonycox2014]

Any idea how I remove the plastic housing over the sensor behind my mirror on a 2017 juke

[@GHillwegg]

We don’t need to put gel into the light sensor? Just around it? Thanks for the explanation!!

[@MOvidiu]

On this model , No!

I am not able to find the daint gobain gel. Is their an amazon link to the product ?

Hi, great work. After this job fault 9cc5 will not come back?

[@gimblito8172]

hi, I am having issues with my G30 after replacing the windscreen. However the auto lights are working. If there was an issue with the sensor or installation, wouldn't both the auto lights and auto wiper stop working together?

[@ecaglav]

Great job. Please keep up the good work.

[@mottogoods]

Hello brother, I have a Citroen C4 2006 model car. The windshield has been replaced and the rain sensor is working randomly. Why do you think there is such a problem?

[@aleckane99]

THANK YOU! this has been driving me insane since I got a new window installed. I have that Rheingold software but the programming feature does not work, is that required? If so where did you get the software?

[@pakhatesia3460]

During my VW Tiguan windshield replacement,they forgot to replace the gel. Now the rain sensing happens after long delay and not adequately/frequently moving while heavy rains. I was wondering can I remove the sensor and refill?

[@stefangaina850]

Salutare! Ajuta-ma, te rog cu un sfat. Vreau sa schimb parbrizul unui bmw f10, totul functioneaza perfect ca si senzori ploaie/lumini. Trebuie facuta initializarea neaparat sau este suficient sa schimb gelul si repus totul la loc?

[@andrear629]

You must put Gel in every cars sensors ?

[@haythemmkadmi1545]

Thanks very much ❤❤❤

You're welcome 😊

Mine is held together to the windshield with Black Duct tape. Used car dealership special feature - No charge for the duct tape 🙂

[@MOvidiu]

Hehe ! No worries! Now you're armed with the knowledge and information! From now on, it's easy to restore it !

[@basilabedallah5797]

On ford flex if you remove this it will turn from auto to manual speed adjustment

[@VibnWavez]

My '18 Accord auto wipers wouldn't work. So I opened the housing above the mirror and discovered my sensor just hanging loose (still plugged in tho). What should I do with that? Currently just unplugged but annoying bc it senses light too so my HUD is really dim

[@MOvidiu]

Unfortunately, I don't know how they're mede for Honda, but my recommendation is to restore it as the factory specs .

[@lakbayofficialyt]

Where i can buy the Gel?

Hey buddy! Can i use any other transparent silicone gel for the sensor?

Hello, you can try to use what you want, but if you want to work, you need to use what the manufacturer used.

Could that cause a parasitic drain, I am having trouble with some kind of parasitic drain, completely draining the battery overnight!

The gel pad or lack of it won't create a parasitic drain .

Had my E84 sensor replaced...wiper works but auto light doesn't off on bright sunny day...plugged into the system...it reads " cannot establish connection "

You need to check wiring, supply and CAN , need to check if the sensor is the corect part number ..
