C5 X7 rain sensor with ADHD

[marsalek]

Dear colleagues,

my automatic rain sensor has become GRADUALLY toooo fast. It engages properly (a message like "automatic rain sensor engaged" appears on the dash board correctly) and since recently in that position the wipers are too fast, even when it stopped raining already. In the intermittent setting it works flawlessly. Should I replace the rain sensor behind the rear mirror? Any other way to test it?

My windscreen was changed already a couple of years ago.

Thanks for all tipps and tricks!
Karel

My last three cars all had a ring on the wiper stalk to rotate and adjust the speed of the automatic wipe, yours may have too, or a setting somewhere to adjust it.

Did you get your windscreen changed?

Mine started to act up straight after my windscreen was changed, while a friend's took about 4-5 months before it started to act up.

I think it is air between the sensor and glass that is the issue.

No ring on the stalk on my X7 to change the interval/sensitivity

I'll check for the bubbles in the gel pad around the light sensor.
