Question Rain Sensing Wipers

Considering getting the rain sensing wipers on my spec-S. Wondering how those work, whether the sensor is in the windshield or on the wipers. Does this mean replacing the windshield and/or wipers will be wicked expensive?

Last I heard the rain-sensing wipers feature is delayed availability (maybe someone has fresher news on this?).

The system works by a sensor through the windshield. You can read a little more at the Bosch USA site (it's about 2/3 down the page).

From demos I've seen of similar systems, it's pretty impressive. Any moisture in the sensor area causes a wiper sweep. No more fiddling with the intermittent wiper time to get it just right for the amount of mist outside!
