rain sensor problem

Hi,
Ever since I changed my windshield last week, the rain sensor does not seem to be working properly. If the rain is really hard it will turn on the wiper once and until the next sweep, the windshield is completely unclear.
The new glass is not original MB.
Is there anything I can do to make the rain sensor more sensitive?
Thanks,

There is calibration that can be done in SDS at the dealer. It is adjusted for factory tint color, etc. That would be the first thing to do.

If your insurance company replaced it, I would insist on an MB windshield.
