Nope - the normal mirror wouldnt fit onto the mount on that screen.Thats why I nicked Twiglets rain sensor type mirror.
So,presumably that type of mirror wont fit onto the mount on the normal screen.

Ok, I never got as far as the mount bit, if thats the case then thats cumming off and getting stuck back on where its needed when ever I get round to doing it.


Think I wait for you to fit yours and blow your one up first, before I do my one in.

You know me so well.

Yes, although it might be possible without replacing the windscreen, I will replace it (small crack on it and even worse, a lot of fine scratches, very disturbing during night driving )

Hi guys,
Look what I found in Germany :

"So, I got my rain sensor installed and it works perfectly! For those who also want to retrofit a small tutorial here ne time with the built parts of me:

Current (+ PIN 1 and neutral PIN 4 of the sensor) I've taken from the interior lights and pulled out all the other cable to the A-pillar on the driver's side down to the fuse box. There, then after switching to plan for rain sensor http://www.opelcars.de/forum/regensensor/mit_Regensensor.pdf (here the diagram without rain sensor for comparison http://www.opelcars.de/forum/regensensor/ohne_Regensensor.pdf) and then connected the relays and with power thieves the cable from the wiper switch tapped. In the engine compartment from the relay box nor the interval relay (a rather large yellow part) pulled out. And then to test spray water on it. If everything works you have it connected properly and you can grow the panels. So, that's it. If not then ask her that. MFG"

Looks that 2 relays are needed also. I don't speak German so I don't know whether the retrofit was done on a car with wiper speed wheel or not.

Apparently it was fitted on a prefacelift Omega.

Not in UK. Non UK cars did get different specs, although was not aware this was ever fitted to prefacelifts

[gaby63]

I mean: the tutorial is about a rain sensor installed in a prefacelift Omega, which initially  was not equipped with it.

I just want to retrofit the rain sensor but, I need little bit more details such as relays' locations and the pin numbers on the rain sensor which has 8 pins on it...
