Auto wipers rain sensitive

[Alex 123]

I have a NX 300H 2016 and a while ago I had a replacement front windscreen fitted by Auto glass a a result of a crack.The embossment on the windscreen is Lexus.

What is quite a bind is that the auto windscreen wipers do not operate .i.e. when set up it initially clears the screen but despite rotating the auto dial no matter how much it rains  it does not operate.

I am wondering when the screen was replaced  does it have sensors in the windscreen which sends a signal to the wipers to operate. More than a pain than anything any ideas please.

I'm not sure about your model but later models have an optical sensor (located up by the mirror and looks out through the windscreen). I suspect that when your windscreen was replaced, this sensor wasn't connected or had been damaged in some way.

If they have not worked since the replace then you could talk to your insurer or Autoglass.

If they initially worked after the replacement then maybe the sensor has worked itself loose resulting in the malfunction.

Lexus Auto wipers are very reliable tech - mine work perfectly on my 430

Yes Neil It Does  There is a sensor in the middle top of the screen that detects Water droplets.. It looks like when you installed the new screen this has not been set up Properly..But best to check I Could be wrong..!!! However i have heard of this happening before on another Thread..!!!
