AKLZ 34 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Washing my new-to-me 2019 Corolla TS Excel 2.0 today for the first time today. I lifted up the windscreen wiper arms and noticed a spot of white on the very lower part of the windscreen glass, exactly where the tip of the drivers side* wiper blade rests when inactive. I presumed this to be bird poo, and scratched it off with my thumb nail, but realised it was actually a dot of ‘paint’ and underneath it was a little tiny circular sensor (perhaps like a lens) under the glass. The paint was there to cover it up. Very odd! What is this sensor and why would it be ‘painted over’ like this? * actually as I sit here typing this, I now can’t remember if it was the drivers or passenger side wiper blade, but it was precisely underneath the very tip of the blade when in the resting ‘off’ position.

AKLZ 34 Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 Thanks! I’ll google that... can you think why Toyota (it was an ex demo) would have put a dot of paint to cover it over? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
