    Pushed in Parking Sensor

    So, I walk outside to my car after my morning trip to Starbucks, and find this when I walked around my car. I'm not sure how this happened, but I'm assuming someone got a little touchy feely with my car, as I can't imagine it would just fall into the hole on it's own. Either way, does anyone know how to fix this without taking off the bumper? BTW, I spent the weekend driving on a gravel road, hence the dust. The car isn't always that dirty

    I could imagine a little kid walking by and pushing that in.

    It is not fun to do but you can push that sensor back into place without taking off the bumper.

    There should be a cover that you have to take off between the bumper and spare tire wheel then reach up there and push the sensor back into place. It has been a while since I had to do this but I remember cutting my arm up pretty good.

    Just fixed it. It was actually quite easy and took me a whole 5 seconds to do once I was under the car. The wires for the sensors are clearly visible behind the bumper and all I did was push it back out. Problem solved!
