Why Replace Your Sensor Gel Pad?
Over time, the original silicone gel pad between your rain or light sensor and the windscreen can dry out, crack, or delaminate. When this happens, sensors may misread conditions — causing wipers to activate erratically or headlights to behave unpredictably. Replacing the gel pad restores full sensor-to-glass contact and brings performance back to factory standard.
