Hello all,

I have a 2013 Mazda CX-5 Touring AWD.

And I got a > 1 foot crack on my windshield and it needs replacement and I got a GM dealership here who can replace it for me. They gave me two options, the windshield with rain sensing wipers and a windshield without them. How can I figure out if I have rain sensing wipers or not. I am sorry if this is a noob question.

Any help would be appreciated.

Is there a camera by the rear view mirror? I thought it used one of those cameras???

There isn't a camera by the rear view mirror but there's an antenna sort of thing.

Here's a picture!

Does it have 'auto' written on the wiper stalk?

Ah, good call Ziggity. According to this diagram it looks like it is in that antenna thing.

According to MazdaUSA that's a GT ONLY feature.

That thing in the window looks like something to do with the satnav or DAB. Your car would have an auto position on the switch if it had rain sensing wipers.

Yep, looks like it does not have a rain sensor. Also I figured out what the antenna thing was. Its a remote start antenna!
