Hello...

Any forum members here that have had their windshield replaced?

If so, did you ever have any issues afterwards with the plastic rain sensor cover, behind the rearview mirror?

I see the cover listed in the Kia parts catalogs, and it shows several tabs on the inside of the cover with part numbers...

I am not sure if the bracket tabs come on a new windshield or if the repair shop has to glue new ones on after a windshield replacement.

I am aksing because the cover fell down off the windshield and was hanging from the rearview mirror. I took the plastic cover off, and there were (2) bracket tabs laying in the cover. I can't tell if they were broken off from the install... or if the glue failed, now that we are having temps near 100 degrees.

Cover is part #11
Bracket tabs are part #12

I had my windshield replaced, a new cover wasn't on the parts invoice, and I didn't have any issues with it - sounds like they broke the tabs on removal, or re-install. I would talk to the glass shop, and get them to pay to have the dealer replace it.
