TPMS antenna fault epidemic..

Is it easy to remove that honeycomb panel in the rear valance?? I'm planning to fit a removable tow bar to my car in the summer - not for a caravan I'll hastilly add!! I know i'll have to sympathetically modify the rear valance, but if the honecomb pannel is easilly removable I recon i'll get away with less cutting??

Yes it is, just pop a few of the tabs loose and it soon comes off, I don't even think you need any tools to undo anything else (as I did), nor do you need a ramp

Interesting thread. My TPMS has failed this weekend on my OEM wheels. I'll take a look at the attenna under the bumper before getting each sensor looked at.

Hi Ed, was going to PM you but figured you'd see this.
I reckon in most cases swapping it will work as it did for someone else
