Purpose and function of the rain sensor cover

The Mercedes CL203 Rain Sensor Cover is a rearview mirror component that covers and mechanically protects the rain sensor mounted at the mirror base. A properly selected cover:

• stabilizes the position of the sensor relative to the glass,
• protects the sensor against accidental mechanical damage from the cabin side,
• masks the installation, improving the visual consistency of the windscreen and mirror,
• limits the access of contaminants to the assembly area.

This allows the automatic wiper system to operate predictably, allowing the driver to maintain good visibility in changing weather conditions.

Construction, fitting and assembly

The cover is designed as a component dedicated to the specific rearview mirror configuration in Mercedes vehicles, which translates into a factory-matched shape and mounting points . The design provides:

• geometry adapted to the mirror base and glass surface,
• integrated hooks for easy assembly and disassembly for service,
• a form that allows for proper adhesion to interior elements.

Provided basic maintenance procedures are followed, installation is simple and requires no modification to the sensor's electrical system. In practice, it simply requires correctly positioning the cover on the mirror and snapping it into place at the designated points.

Used condition – benefits and technical aspects

The cover offered is in used condition, meaning it may show signs of wear typical of interior components, but it retains its mounting and protective function. In technical terms, this means:

• retained mounting points for re-assembly,
• no need for adjustments or modifications,
• the possibility of economically repairing a damaged or missing component in the vehicle.

For the user, this means a favorable price-to-functionality ratio, while maintaining the original vehicle manufacturer's specifications.

Application in the rearview mirror system

As an element from the rearview mirror category, the cover works directly with:

• interior mirror body,
• base for mounting to the glass,
• rain sensor and its wiring harness.

A properly selected cover minimizes the risk of play, cracking, and unwanted vibrations around the mirror, improving acoustic comfort inside the cabin. At the same time, it provides an aesthetically pleasing finish to the windscreen area visible from the driver's seat.

Why choose this rain sensor cover

Replacing a damaged or missing rain sensor cover with a genuine Mercedes part is a quick way to restore the full functionality of your automatic wiper system and a consistent interior appearance. This used part allows you to:

• maintain compatibility with the factory rearview mirror design,
• reduce repair costs compared to a new item,
