Let me know how it goes. I'm in Renton but need to get that done before spring. We had a long summer but at least I could plan ahead and cool down the truck before climbing in using the app.
Accutint in Bellevue is the best in our area as I’ve tried a few over the years. FormulaOne Pinnacle is super clear high quality tint. Also got AirMax80 for the windshield. Super clear, no glare and much reduced summer heat.

PNW-er here. My P2 did really great in last year's rainy season. ACC ("Pilot") never cut out. No false readings. I'm currently doing a DIY ceramic (turtle wax hybrid) on my R1T, hoping that good beading will keep the cameras clear.
Did you have any luck with that? I just did a long road trip in the rain and would like to find an improvement before the next one.

Yes. It didn't help too much with water, but no problem otherwise.

Perhaps not a sensor issue and not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but for those with more time driving in the rain than me so far: Have you experienced the windshield wipers getting stuck in the middle of a sweep?

Driving in our last good rain here in Dallas was almost a bit dangerous because every few minutes my wipers would sweep up into my line of sight and then stop there for 3-4 seconds before resuming.

14k miles, never seen that. I suggest a single hard reset. If it reoccurs, contact support.

I don't remember where I saw it, but I could've sworn I've seen a vehicle with a camera sprayer connected to the windshield line. Like it would squirt the camera. And this was years ago.
My 2017 Bolt had a rear camera sprayer. it went on with the rear window sprayer. Worked great.
