im not even sure aftermarket rain sensors are available. i would recommend going with the factory part and installing it in the car to make it work effectively, but then again the factory rain sensor works "okay".

you can install a factory rain sensor. It is very easy to install but you will require a new windsheild that has the lens of the sensor mounted from factory. Perhaps a replacement for a cracked windsheild???

The rain sensor works well but not perfectly.
And yes, you do need to replace the entire windshield ($1k I think).
And I don't know if there's any prewiring for a rain sensor.
