Bloody Hell!

Another hit an run to rant about! I was in the city on the first car spot from an intersection. You wouls think no-one would bloody hit me there when parking.
Must of been a courier... :thumbsdown:

I can buff out any marks, but...

Need help. One of the two center parking sensors in my back bumper has been slightly dislodged. What would be the easiest way to reach behind there...ie, partially pull the bumper off...?

well, insurance would, but the time it takes to do the police report, claim on the insurance, book it in...they would just replace my rear bumper. I have just finished buffing out any marks, but have to get my hand behind the bumper to pop the sensor back in.

Not worth going to insurance...as it wasn't that bad, just bloody annoying.
Why cant they leave my car alone, i never touched them

Sorry to hear of your automotive misfortune. That sucks! Most people just don't give a shit anymore. I'll never understand it. I wouldn't door ding an '84 Corolla with my '97 Dodge Ram without leaving a note.

Thanks for your support guys.

Turboawd, its the rear. I have a towbar, so reaching up is making it difficult to push back the sensor.
Is there any tips on only partially taking off the bumper to get my hand in there...?

i dont think you can just partially take the cover off. you're going to have to remove all fasteners...sides, bottom, and the bolts below the tail lights. if you search, you'll find instructions. its not that hard to do, but you may need an extra hand handling the bumper.
