Had the same problem, slow response, sometimes nothing at all. Dismantled the sensor assembly, clean dust off with acetone, and that was it in my case - it was filthy. Once cleaned all became ultra sensitive / normal operation

hope this helps someone

You couldn't post a photo of the sensor location or explain where it is ? Or are we talking about the two black alien eye thingies up by the rear view mirror !! If it is them ? am I likely to brake them when taking the black covers off !!

If you remove the two screws on each visor mounts, everything up there becomes loose. Gives you more room for prying the top unit. Feels safer anyway... I know what you mean by braking 'plastics' lol
