Bubble at rain sensor

Hi, yesterday I found a small bubble in the rain sensor area after a car wash (it could have been there for a while)
Should I take it to the dealer? I have tried pouring water and covering the sensor. It seemed the auto headlights and wipers were still working fine.
My car's windshield was replaced at Safelite back in January and also tinted windshield in March, not sure if those were related.
Thanks!

whenever getting a new windshield - make SURE that you demand OEM Glass and I would have the dealer do it - you really need to calibrate systems after this is done.

Yes. Safelite replaced my windshield through my insurance and they also did recalibration. Everything seemed perfect at the time. The same as later I got windshield tinted.
Now I am wondering if I could go back to Safelite or Window tinting shop or even dealer to ask about warranty repair. I am more suspecting Safelite windshield replacement though...

I would go to Satellite as the bubble is in an area not tinted so could not have been due to tinting
