Wipers...

[jimjamming]

Got my Born two weeks ago, and I LOVE it. A really lovely drive, and I've not experienced any problems yet...

...apart from the wipers. Aside from them being for a left hand-drive car and leaving a line of water directly in my vision, the main issue is that the automatic rain sensor doesn't work. Doesn't sense rain at all. They work as intermittent wipers when I switch the automatic rain sensing off in the menu, but when you turn it on they wipe once and then they're ready to call it a day.

I've booked it in with my "local" dealership - a 45 minute drive - and they're going to look at it halfway through July, which was their next appointment date. A bit disappointing. Surely that should be something that's checked as part of the pre-delivery checks? "Does the rain sensor sense rain?"

Until then I will be manually wiping...

Hi, just got my V2 last week & also loving it!
I noticed the rain sensing wipers were not activating, I disabled this function in the settings & they started to work!! Not sure if it was a fluke or theres a bug?
Will re-test when I can to try yo confirm whats happening, try yours to see if you get same result?

I had a problem with my wipers either wiping too much, or not at all.

It turned out to be the sensor wasn't seated properly with the gel pad to the windscreen and had to be remounted.

Check the round sensor from the outside that sits behind the rear view mirror, if there looks like there are air bubbles it could be that.

I have a question, maybe its just me but maybe It also happens with you guys, I dont know if its something with the nozzles or what it is, but when i want to clean the windshield, the water (or the fluid) only wets a small area, right next to the wipers, so when the wipers deploy the windshield is dry as bone. Something i can do about this?

If you look at the washer nozzle, there's a slot where the actual nozzle is. Right next to the spray fan there is a torx screw hole. I think it's a torx 10 size. You can turn this screw to adjust the height of the spray fan

Decent fluid for winscreen and wiping the blade of the wiper carefully with a cloth should fix it.

Can you explain why the type of washer fluid or wiping the blades changes the height that the washer spray reaches on the windscreen?

I've double-check the rain detection on my 2 week old V2 Born & I have to "Disable" (indicator goes from Orange to grey) for the wipes to work when raining, if I re-enable they stop reacting to the sensor - Strange...
Has anyone else noticed/tested this? What's the best support email address to report this issue?
Thanks in advance...

Have you tried cleaning the windscreen glass where the camera and sensor are. Mine did similar thing with various symbols on display. Clean the glass with some glass cleaner and see if it fixes it.

Hi, good idea will take a look at that.
When rain sensor active from the settings it never responds to rain, of course when its disabled the standard intermittent wiping takes over…

Cheers
