4. Einrichtung
Before beginning the sensor removal process, ensure the following:
- Fahrzeugvorbereitung: The windscreen should be removed from the vehicle or positioned in a manner that allows safe and unobstructed access to the sensor area.
- Arbeitsbereich: Stellen Sie sicher, dass Ihr Arbeitsbereich gut beleuchtet, sauber und frei von Hindernissen ist.
- Werkzeugauswahl: Identify the appropriate tool from the set that best matches the shape and size of the rain/light sensor to be removed. The set includes tools with large square, medium square, and small oval profiles to accommodate various sensor designs.
5. Bedienungsanleitung
Follow these steps to safely and effectively remove rain/light sensors:
- Prepare the Sensor Area: With the windscreen removed or properly positioned, locate the rain/light sensor.
- Wärme anwenden: Using a heat gun, carefully apply heat to the draußen of the windscreen directly over the sensor area. This softens the adhesive bonding the sensor to the glass. Apply heat gradually and evenly to avoid thermal shock to the glass.
- Select the Correct Tool: Choose one of the three tools from the Power-Tec 92366 set that most closely matches the contour and size of the sensor. The tempered steel blade of the tool is designed to slide under the sensor.
- Insert and Apply Pressure: Once the adhesive has softened, carefully insert the selected tool's blade between the sensor and the windscreen. Apply gentle, consistent sideways pressure. The tool's design allows it to make light work of separating the sensor from the softened adhesive.
- Entfernen Sie den Sensor: Continue applying sideways pressure until the sensor detaches from the windscreen. Avoid prying or twisting motions that could damage the sensor or glass.
- Wiederanbringung: Once removed, the sensor can be prepared for reattachment to the new windscreen using appropriate adhesive materials, following the vehicle manufacturer's guidelines.

6. Wartung
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your Power-Tec 92366 tool set:
- Reinigung: After each use, wipe the tools clean of any adhesive residue or dirt using a soft cloth. If necessary, use a mild solvent suitable for cleaning tools, ensuring it does not damage the handle material.
- Inspektion: Regularly inspect the blades for any signs of bending, chipping, or dullness. While designed for durability, extreme misuse can cause damage.
- Lagerung: Store the tools in their original packaging or a suitable tool organizer to protect them from damage and corrosion. Keep them in a dry environment.
7. Fehlerbehebung
| Problem | Mögliche Ursache | Lösung |
|---|---|---|
| Sensor is difficult to remove. | Adhesive not sufficiently softened. | Re-apply heat to the outside of the windscreen over the sensor area. Ensure heat is applied evenly and for an adequate duration. |
| Tool does not fit properly under the sensor. | Incorrect tool selected for the sensor type. | Try a different tool from the set that better matches the sensor's shape and size. The set includes three different profiles. |
| Tool feels stuck or requires excessive force. | Adhesive not fully softened or tool misaligned. | Do not force the tool. Re-apply heat and ensure the tool is inserted correctly, parallel to the windscreen surface. |
