Hi, I own GS350 f sport and im having an issue with the parking sensors. I went outside to check, and low and behold, I think one of the sensors got pushed back in; therefore my car keeps beeping at me saying that there is something in front of the car. I need to take the front bumper off the car. does anyone have a removal guide for 2016 + gs 350 f sport models?

I can't find the link, but the best thing to do is search for fog light install (threads) and there's a set of instructions and images to help with the removal. But having taken my front clip off a couple of times, here's what you need to do:

1 - remove all the pop-tabs and plastic under the hood (two main pieces)
2 - Remove the bolts attaching the bumper to the frame at the headlights (I believe there are two on each side, and one near the latch in the center).
3 - Remove all the screws along the bottom lip (ALL of them, including the 5-6 for each guard in front the wheels). I think the total for the underside was 20 screws.
4 - Remove the two fastener clips in each wheel well – they turn a quarter to 'unlock' and then you can pull out the plastic 'key'
5 - There's a single hidden bolt behind the fender liner on each side that attaches the bumper to the car. Once you pull / pop the fender liner back, you'll see it. It's up near the back of the headlights.
6 - Then it's just a matter of popping the bumper out at the wheels and lifting up and back. Once it's free enough, you can adjust / unplug your parking sensors and wires.

BUT, you MIGHT be able to accomplish reseating your sensor by removing all the undercarriage plastic and trying to fish your hand up there.

I hope there's a simpler way. Maybe someone else can chime in. Good luck!

Thats the guide for the 2013-2015 but it should similar overall.

thanks guys.. I think the PDF will help. I'm scared of the tabs the most... scared that I might break them.. oh wells.. got to live dangerously sometimes

doubt it.. i went ahead and looked at the location of the sensor. the crash bar is placed right behind it... so i think the only way would be to take the bumper off.. no shortcuts this time...
