Default Removing rain sensor

I want to tint my windshield and I have rain sensing wipers. Is there a easy way to remove the sensor without breaking it?

That little bump is the sensor for your automatic headlamps.

Is the rain sensor in the wind shield? I had a jeep with rain sensor and it could be shut off in the computer.You might want to look to shut it off. Sould be in your manual.

My Jeep had the sensor too. I had the shop tint around it instead of removing and it looked fine.
