    Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
    Note
    The fasteners are tiny, take care not to drop or misplace them. Ensure the correct Phillips screwdriver is used. Using other screwdrivers which are too large may round off the cross on the fastener head.
  7. Remove the humidity and temperature sensor from the windshield bracket.

Install

  1. Use IPA wipes to clean the area where the new humidity and temperature sensor foam pad will rest, and allow 1 minute to let the area dry.
    Warning IconA warning icon, calling your attention to a possibly risky situation
    CAUTION
    Make sure all adhesive residue from the windshield is removed and the windshield is dry before installation. The foam pad will not stick if the windshield is wet. Align the located hole of the sensor with the plastic alignment pin on the windshield bracket.
  2. Install the humidity and temperature sensor onto the windshield bracket.
    Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
    Note
    Ensure that a graphene foam block is present on the contact pad and the blue tape is removed from the sensor foam pad before installation. If the foam is degraded or no longer present, install a new graphene foam block. Clean all adhesive residue that is left from the old foam. The foam is required for conducting the temperature of the windshield to the sensor.
  3. Install the screws (x2) that attach the humidity and temperature sensor to the windshield bracket.

    CAUTION
    Ensure the fasteners are not over-torqued as they are very delicate and will strip out very easily.
