Hey guys, on my way back to Phoenix, AZ yesterday a big rig kicked up a big ass rock and cracked my windshield which now needs replacing [=(]. My question is when i called the auto glass people for quotes they all asked me if i had the rain sensor. How can i tell if i have it? Do they come standard on all S4's?

If you turn the wiper stalk up one click from the off position it will be in auto mode. The small clicking dial on the top of the stalk will affect the sensitivity of the system. Put it in auto mode then dump water on your winder... See if it turns on [;)]

Personally I have never found an auto system that works well.

Works pretty well on mine, but I generally leave my wipers off thanks to Wolf's glass sealant

Mine works great! I use it all the time.

I'm actually really suprised how well it works. I don't use it often but when I do, the sensitivity is amazing. It can be pouring rain out and as soon as I drive into a parking garage or any other cover they shut off immediately.

X2. I love mine. Works much better than any other auto wipers I have ever seen

Look for the little camera lens like sensor on the windshield where the rear view mirror is attached.

I use rain-x so I have mine off when I'm on the highway or going 50+ in the rain. When I'm going slower I find the auto works great, and passengers think it's neat.

BMW and Audi auto-wipers work brilliantly for me. I really find this feature nice and useful. I hate constantly adjusting my wipers, and to me, it really is set it and forget it.
