My wife has had the car for about 8 months - currently 58k miles. The
dealer told us that the int. wipers did not work b/c the windshield had been
replaced with one w/o a rain sensor. The only way to get them to work would
be to replace the windshield. Is that correct?

Any advice/input appreciated.

Yes, you have to have the rain sensor for the intermittants to work.
And no, you cannot pry the module holder off one windshield and glue it on yours. It is bonded to
the glass. Any air bubbles will defeat it.

We see them all the time. Insurance companies are the cheapest tightwads around. They go to the
lowest bidder and then have to pay twice. Once for the $99 special and then for the correct MB
windshield.
