Check the gel patch that the rearview mirror and rain sensor use. If it is not sealed smoothly then it could interpret the smuge as rain.

Probably not now, but a few years back, there was an offshore supplier of LR heated windscreens.To my knowledge, the only "aftermarket" windshield that has the defrost elements is the Pilkington windshield, which I believe is the supplier for Land Rover OEM.

If you still have the original windscreen, the odds are that the glue that secures the optical rain sensor to the inside surface of the glass has let go.I have the same issue, the wipers set in auto act like intermittent wipers. I still have the original OEM Pilkington heated windshield and I still have this problem
Thanks for the reply, how exactly do you unsnap it? I can’t seem to get it outIf you still have the original windscreen, the odds are that the glue that secures the optical rain sensor to the inside surface of the glass has let go.
There is a plastic clam shell that unsnaps into two halfs behind the interior rear view mirror that hides the sensor.
I suggest you unsnap it, (kind of just pulls apart), and see if there is something loose that looks like it should be glued to the interior surface of the glass. If so, then as an experiment, tape it to the glass and see if anything changes for the better.
If so, then go to a glass shop and get them to use optically correct glue to reattach the sensor.
Use something, maybe a flat blade screwdriver or nail file to pry the plastic halves apart. If your cover is per the jpg, just start at the top where the wires go in.Thanks for the reply, how exactly do you unsnap it? I can’t seem to get it out
