rain sensor 2000 328i

zagnut · 06-06-2006, 12:17 AM

I recently caught a rock on the interstate and my windshield cracked. The insurance company sent out a repairman and replaced the windshield and now the rain sensor does not work. The repair guy has been back three times and the rain sensor still doesn't work. Frustraiting all around. I called the BMW dealer and he could see me on June 26th. Anybody have trouble with the rain sensor and what was the fiix?

I'm pretty sure the 318ti's don't have auto rain sensing wipers.

Mine doesn't anyways....

The "work around" would be to do by hand.

The 318ti's in the US don't have rain sensors. Have you asked this on another forum yet since this is a 318ti sight and not a 328i sight? Sorry i have no clue on this.

I don't have a 318i. I have a 328i and thanks for your reply. I am new to this but I figured somone must have encountered this problem before. This site when I first looked at it said lt was open to anyone with a 3 series.

I have a 328i and mine does have a rain sensor. Anyway thanks for your reply. This is the first time I have used this site or any chat room for that matter. Is this site open to anyone with a 3 series?

My 318ti doesn't have a rain sensor, But it is funny how my wipers speed up and slow down with the rain (or maybe with the accelleration?)

No... Its with the rain, I can be stopped and its raining hard and they will go fast... Or I can be going fast and they wil go slow (on there own)

As long as its on the middle speed on the lever they will adjust them selves..

Explain that !!

Mine doesn't do that at all. Did you take some hits from the

when this happend? I know if you have your wipers on the second speed or tird when you stop at a red light they stop. Then when you start moving again they go back to it's normal function.

We have speed sensitive wipers, they slow down when you stop.
