I'm looking for someone with an S3 8V to take a couple of close up pictures of the windscreen mirror sensor. Mine is clear after a screen replacement. I'm sure it should be black and you should not be able to see the sensors. Pictures are of how messed up it is.

Yes that's not right, I reckon the gel pad isn't stuck down properly.

Not got the S3 now, but zoomed in on an old pic, look like yours has moisture under it!:

Just looked on the A5 to compare:

Grubby windscreen but definitely not a white blob like yours.

Did they replace the Gel Pad between the senor and the windscreen? When autoglass did my one the fitter said they replace the gel pad between the sensor and the screen and showed me the new gel pad.
 
I don't believe they did. Calamity of errors on this one
 
Had my screen replaced this week by Autoglass, non OEM, but no problems

Their work order should show a gel pack and yes you can see the rain sensor on a properly installed rear view mirror mount.
