Greg, yes the rain sensor on the MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan and Thermostat # MA00-06200K will automatically close the lid if rain is detected.

I was asking because I recently had the fan installed a few days ago and it rained hard for 2 days but the lid stayed up will it reopen when it drys or do you have to manually reopen the lid ? Because if so the sensor is not working but I could be wrong could you please give me a call if possible 202 704 6587 thank you Greg Anglin

@Greg Yeah Greg it does sound like your rain sensor is not working correctly. Since you just had the fan installed, I'd recommend reaching out to the manufacturer and have it replaced through them. Also, are you sure your fan has a rain sensor? There's a a chance your unit does not have one, which would explain that.
