Had mine replaced last week, but the rain sensor isn't nearly as sensitive as it was(MK7). I read in the manual that it has to be re-calibrated, is this correct? By the way the screen is a Pilkington. Also what is this Gel pack and should mine have been replaced?

When they pull the rain sensor off the old screen it leaves 4 indentations, one for each of the lenses in the old gel, so when they put it on the new screen they put a new gel pack between the sensor and screen so it's perfectly flush., and yes yours should have been replaced, if it doesn't look perfect from the outside then it hasn't been changed.




It does look perfect so is it just a case of re-calibration?
