About Rain Sensors

A rain sensor has the capability to detect when it's raining and automatically close the windows and sunroof and activate the windscreen wipers on the car. 

The Mercedes-Benz rain sensor is a clever device fitted to the front windscreen of the car. The sensor automatically switches on the windscreen wipers when it detects rain and can be set to automatically adjust the speed of the wipers to suit the amount of rain fall. It can also automatically close any windows that are open in the car and shut the sunroof. The exact features of the rain sensor will depend on the car manufacturers specifications. Buying a Mercedes-Benz rain sensor will ensure you get a part that is perfectly compatible with the make and model of your vehicle.

Most rain sensors work by sending out a beam of infrared light onto the windscreen, at an angle from inside the car . The rain sensor then measures the amount of light reflected back to it from the windscreen. Wet glass emits less light back to the sensor which causes it to recognise that it's raining and the parts connected to the rain sensor, such as the windscreen wipers, will activate, and the windows and sun roof will automatically close.

If the rain sensor stops working there could be a number of reasons. Issues will arise if there is a faulty connection to the rain sensor and a worn or faulty diffuser inside the sensor will cause it to malfunction. Replacing the rain sensor in your car with the Mercedes-Benz rain sensor is a wise choice. You can be sure to get a part that's designed specifically for the make and model of your vehicle, which means it will perform well and fit perfectly.

Mercedes-Benz trivia

• Karl Benz founded the famous car company. He is not only credited as the maker of the world's first practical motorcar but also has the distinction of being the first person ever issued with a driving license (local citizens kept complaining about the noise and smell of his Motorwagen, and so he needed written permission to drive it).
• If you thought self-driving cars were all about Tesla, then it might surprise you to know that Mercedes Benz made an autonomously driving vehicle as early as 1995. It didn't gain popularity, but it became the foundation of the modern driving technology found in every Mercedes Benz.
• Unlike most cars, Mercedes vehicles are not spray painted. Instead, they are completely submerged in anti-corrosion coating and primer. That means the protective liquid can get into every part of the car.
• Mercedes Benz cars have always been a big part of the Jurassic Park films, but the first movie went all out, with the stars emerging from a red Mercedes GLE Coupe before walking down the red carpet. Mercedes cars are also used throughout the film franchise.
• Karl Benz obviously gave his name to the company, but the Mercedes part of the name comes from the daughter of his customer and friend, Emil Jellinek. Her name was (obviously) Mercedes, and it's still surprising that her name remains so attached to the iconic car brand.
