D4 auto wipers not working after windscreen replacement

[Flexor]

I had my windscreen replaced on my Disco 4 SE but now the auto rain sensing wipers don't work. Can anyone help with a fix? Does it take a special type of windscreen or is there something that just needs to be configured?

Is it a genuine windscreen? I am pretty sure the sensor is built into the glass.

Had the same problem in my lexus, needed to be genuine windshield.

I just got a new non genuine windscreen in my D4 SE and the rain sensing wipers work fine. I did make sure it was a Sun Control windscreen to replace the OEM Opticool but that is all. My insurance won't pay for a genuine windscreen but at least you can get the equivalent aftermarket windscreen.

Have you got a switch for the wipers? exercise your fingers.

[Meken]

Why don't you go back to the people who did the windscreen? You asked for them to replace your windscreen - then they should be making sure everything works after they've done their work

[sheerluck]

Could it be that they have forgotten to connect the sensor?

Gday...

Dunno if the D3 and D4 screens are the same but when I got a replacement windscreen from O'Briens in Townsville and the auto wipers did not work.

They could not find the reason why and referred it to the dealer in Townsville. They checked it out and apparently it needed a "re-install" of the software. Cost $72 (paid for by O'Briens) and it hasn't failed since.

When I had my D4 windscreen replaced 'Instant Windscreens' told me there was no equivalent after market windscreen.

Peter, they told me today (Cannington) they could order me the LR one, but the Chinese ripoff worked well for two others they recently fixed.....so I guess they have an elcheapo one now.

Got a friggen big hit, two days out from our trip to Tassie.....I will get by though.

Happy Christmas mate.
