I just had mine done. I am a little disappointed because the adhesive that mounts the sensor to the windshield is full of air bubbles and looks like crap. Guy said its impossible to get better because the factory ones are done with a computer.....BS!!!!
Anyone have an experience to share before I call the main office and complain?

Anyone have an experience to share before I call the main office and complain? | Is it a OEM windshield?? I had mine replaced by a private glass shop,it was a OEM windshield with rain sensor and never had a problem.Had it done through the insurance company. Good luck.

Yes. If they just stuck the rain sensor back on there, they screwed it up. Furthermore, all those air bubbles will cause your rain sensor to malfunction.
Call them back. Demand that they use the OEM BMW glass with the rain sensor ALREADY MOUNTED. This is the only way it will be fixed correctly.
I went through three windshields this way, after telling them from the begining about the rain sensor and the need to use OEM glass because of it. Safelite is never touching my car again.

I used quality glass for the install...they told me safe lite sucks. They talked me into a replacement winshield not the BMW oem....they said it was the same basically......and about 100 bucks cheaper. The rain sensor looks like crap.....like it was tuck on with a clear double sided adhesive with huge air bubbles in it....and they said that is how they come out. Are you saying the OEM windshield works different???
It really looks bad.....but what can I do? Supposedly it has a lifetime guarantee....ill see if my rain sensor works right and if it doesnt i guess thats my only outlet to complain. Did yours work at all????

Insist that they come back and fix it right.

I don't think its possible to get a windshield with rain sensor and HUD and not being OEM.
