Stupidly, I backed into something over the weekend and knocked in the outboard, driver side sensor - it's still working, albeit cracked, and sitting in the cavity of the bumper. I need to get to it and replace it with one I just bought on eBay. If I remove my tail light through the trunk, can I fish my hand down to get to the sensor?
Most likely NOT... There is a piece of foam called "Rear Bumper Energy Absorber" that is in the way. On the other hand, removing the rear bumper cover is fairly straight forward.
From what I've read, bumpers need to be removed for parking sensor replacement on both the front and the back. Ive had a front sensor out for a few months because I've been lazy, although the bumper removal is very easy.
