plastic cover on front camera

[OgreSmash]

so the plastic cover on my front camera decided to come loose. I cant seem to secure it back down. is there a secret to this?

 

[OgreSmash]

really no one has any ideas on how to put it back in place?

Take/post pics of the problem area/parts? Maybe a clear silicone gasket maker will do the job, if no tabs are to be found?

Same happened to mine back in June. Stumped the Ford dealer, they didn't know what to do. I was in a hurry as I was headed to the Ford Nationals. I stopped by the local windshield repair shop. They were miffed at the dealership, said they should have ordered a new windshield. They weren't sure if was a good idea, but they used adhesive to glue it back to the windshield. It worked, but auto wipers no longer work exactly right.

That assembly is called the Image Processing Module A, (ipma for short). The front camera to me meant the camera for 360 view (parking aid).

So the picture says a lot in this case.

The publications say to pull strait out. The mirror comes off by lifting a tab and rotating.

It' not staying up so there must be some broken clips.

I had the same problem on my 2015 after a windshield replacement. Rain sensing wipers still not right, even after checkout by Ford dealer.

Dealer got the cover back on, wipers are still a mess. Ideas? Dealer says the internals test ok.

The rain sensor is probably not installed correctly. It' attched to the windshield with a gell pad. It' separate from the mirror.

all the stuff against the window are still attached

Anything I might mention to my dealer? A tech had it 2 hours or better and couldn't it's a problem. Wipers operate like standard interval system at this point, regardless of rain volume.

Do you have the rain sensitive wipers disabled in the instrument cluster Greg? That's about the only way I can think if there is not a d.t.c. set.
