rain sensor is the separate part itself. It's attached to windshield inside by plastic hooks made with OEM windshied .
There are many problems created by not original windshield and basically rain sensor is not working . Yes it is possible to use old rain sensor IF..plastic hooks still intact and it's relativelly easy to install to windshield. Other wise you have to change non OEM ( BMW) windshield ( pricey..!!), 2) new rain sensor ( 200 usd!+ tax) 3) PC chip should be regulated by BMW technisian in case to create correlation between this 2 new components regards

It is a PPG windshield with the black area around the rear view mirror for the sensor, but there are no brackets or anything to attach it to. I think they used something like this sensor adhesive pad at www.gggcorp.com/sensors.htm to attach it. Could I just get a new one of those since it looks like mine is old & cloudy? The windshield looks fine. No bubbles or distortion. It just seems like the adhesive is old & impairing the sensor. Would changing that make me have to get it reprogrammed?

Not sure about what glue is used, but it needs to be optically clear to make sure the sensor can properly see the outside world.
I don't have any 'hooks' on mine either. The sensor plugs into a holder which is bonded to the windshield. In my case, reprogramming was necessary and done by the dealer on both occasions that I have had to have replacement windshields. I think it is some form of calibration and is very quick to do. The glue / bonding agent will be your main issue.
