I think there's another thread on here with other people's experiences.
Yes that seems to be correct. When the guy turned up with my replacement screen, there was already a prism and metal bracket attached to the screen. The fitter just slid my existing sensor and parts onto the screen. The rain sensor also seems to be working fine, I've not had any issues with it.
