Does anyone know to remove this bracket that holds the rain sensor in place? Currently trying to replace and cannot figure out to remove this thing. Im sure it's something super easy lol. Thanks in advance fellas.

That might do the trick. I'll give it a shot in the morning and report back to let you know. Thanks.

Replacing solar rain/light sensor and condensation sensor


Important!
Read and comply with notes on protection against electrostatic damage (ESD protection).


Necessary preliminary tasks:
If necessary, remove inside mirror


For equipment specifications up to 09/2009:
with 2-zone automatic air conditioning (SA 534)
with 4-zone automatic climate control (SA 4 NB)
with Head‐Up Display (SA 610)
From 09/2009 onward, considered standard equipment and thus not dependent on equipment specifications.

Disconnect plug connection (2).
Unlock metal spring (3) in direction of arrow.
Remove solar rain/light and condensation sensor (1) from windscreen.
Installation note:
Close plug connection (2) only after fitting solar rain/light and condensation sensor on windscreen!
Carefully clean windscreen in the contact area with the solar rain/light and condensation sensor! Remove all silicone residues.
Remove protective cover from the new solar rain/light and condensation sensor. The silicone-coated surface below it must not be touched!
Press centre of metal spring (3) to ensure latch mechanism is correct in both hooks (5) on each side of retaining element (4).


Note:
Solar rain/light and condensation sensor is automatically coded via a terminal change (terminal 15) by junction box.

Was finally able to complete this job before rainy season here on Florida. Those instructions were spot on. Had a little trouble unlocking the bracket but it moved once I figured out how to apply pressure in the proper place.

Thanks for the assist with the instructions.
