Hi everyone,
inspecting the car I found the rear back right parking sensor was going inside the rear bumper.. I tried to get it back but it fell inside the bumper.
Did it happen to anyone else?

I guess I'll have to unmount the bumper to reinstall the sensor. (there's no other way, right?)
I've read some tutos over here and I must say it appears quite impressing ,so I'ld greatly appreciate if anyone had a link to a video or photo tuto so that I'll be sure I do everything right.
Do I have to take the rear wheels off?And at same time? (in which case it'll be impossible to me)

Thanks.

 

Ya, it looks like the bumper has to come off - there are removal procedures in the manual - page 3587 - this is a link to the manwell for download:

Thanks @macjag, I'm quite intimidated by the task... and pissed off as it's for a tiny stupid litle sensor.

 

Ya, looks like a fair bit of work. If you have a place to work on it and you take your time you should be able to do it. It's not brain surgery. Just take pics as you dismantle so you can have something to check with when reassembling.

It's possible the sensor clips are damaged. I don't think you can access it through the trunk after removing carpeting etc.

 

You don’t have to remove it completely, you can undo the bolts in the wheel well, behind the light and the ones under the boot lock trim. You don’t have to remove the exhaust and trim between the exhaust because you can pull the bumper out enough to get your hand down there. Of course if you’ve got small hands you can go up from underneath.
