Anyone know if just the sensor pad on the rain sensor needs replacing or bigger issue?

Recently while I was driving in the rain I noticed the automatic wipers being inconsistent. I then checked the rain sensor which seems to show a small crack, so wanted to ask if anyone knows whether the gel pad needs replacing or if the actual sensor has been damaged.

I have changed the post. I had the same thing in an Octavia 3 VFL. I swapped both and everything worked fine. Then adjust the coding again.

The gel is around £5, change it and see what happens
