Help!!! Rear parking sensor

Post by luffenham1 » Thu Jul 04, 2013 4:57 pm

Hi all

Cleaning my car today and as I was cleaning the back bumper, one of the parking sensors pop into the body work. What's the best way to pop it out again. Take the rear diffuser off ? And if so how.

Sorry - only just noticed your post - The Rear diffuser is only held on with three screws (undo these and then pull the diffuser away from the bumper and under the car before you manoeuvre it around the tailpipes on each side) it is easier to take off than it is to replace (it is a bit of a pain to line up the lugs to the rear bumper but no big deal). Small hands and advantage when reaching up to get to rear of the parking sensors, not all of them can be reached - middle ones are the easiest. I have some Thule caravan leveler ramps which I back up onto which makes any of those jobs under the front and rear a whole lot easier (and comfortable!)
Hope this helps
