Rain Sensor Aftermarket
Is possibile to install the rain sensor aftermarket?
How does it work?
Where is the sensor in C sportcoupe (behind the rear mirror?)

is SOLD
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.

Windshields with rain sensor lenses included, can be installed for as little as $300 or so. See this thread for details... https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w203/150743-windshield-replacement-prices-fyi.html
