I believe the rain sensor is part of the windshield and am assuming that will make it quite expensive. Has anyone had theirs replaced at the dealership? If so, what was the damage?
I have the rain sensors and the heads up display. I was trying to decide on whether or not to buy the glass coverage. I asked my SA what the cost would be to replace the windshield...about $1200 is what I was quoted. Glass coverage...YEAH!!

My Ride: 550i 2009 Mod. with tints all around. Got Splitter and Spoiler coming. May do an exhaust.
Yes I am concerned with the Pitting on the windshield? If one does not have an Insurance policy (Guess I could ask for one from my agent) will wiping with the Rain X more than one time say 3 times help build a protective shield over the windshield? You would think Silicate's over Silicones (Glass) would help.
...
Just my 2 cents.

Happened to me about 6 mos. ago. I thought for sure it was going to crack, but like you said -- just a pit.
Ask your claims agent, and press the safety issue.
