Standard Factory Fit ?

Car  RenaultSport clio 182
Bought a 182 a couple of weeks ago, and noticed the rain sensitive wipers did not work (just acted as normal intermittent). Took it back to Renault dealership, who said it did not have them fitted, and pointed out that the sensor that should be behind the mirror was not present. I questioned how this could happen, as they are a factory standard fitment, all they could suggest was that the screen may have been replaced and the sensor not refitted.

This seems highly unlikely to me, anyone any thoughts?

It has occurred to me that perhaps the car is imported from a country where this is not standard, is there any way to tell ?
 
Full fat 182?

Sometimes mine work sometime they don't...The angle and intensity of the rain plays a big part i think.
 
Yes its a full fat.

It's not a fault with the car as such, the sensor behind the mirror is simply not fitted.
 
All Full fats have the rain sensitive windscreen , even imports . Maybe it has had a new windscreen at some point , even then if should have had the rain sensitive windscreen fitted .
