Rain sensor locking piece - Mine is missing! (3 Viewers)

[SMLE]

Hi folks,

My 2004 100 series has had a dangling rain sensor since I bought it. I've bought a new OEM pad to sit between the windscreen glass and the rain sensor but unfortunately there is a part missing.

The rain sensor slots over the metal bracket which is fixed to the windscreen, however the little (I assume plastic?) piece which slides into the side of the sensor and locks it into position by engaging the metal bracket is missing.

I've looked around and can't find any where they are sold separately from the sensor (which does thankfully work).

Please can anyone:
- let me know where I can find one
- an alternative approach, e.g. adhesive to fix it to the screen
- let me know if they have one they'd sell me from a duff sensor (I have an address you can send stuff to in CA, who will forward to me)
- measure theirs in lots of detail so I can get one 3d printed.

I'm aware from reading on here that you can unplug it completely for a traditional intermittent experience which I'll opt for if I can't get this sorted.

Thanks so much!

I've been around 100's since 2000, and I've never realized some markets came with rain sensors. I would love that!

I guess Toyota felt bad for us in the UK knowing how much rain we get and threw us a bone

Always checking eBay but people don't really sell faulty sensors
