I pulled my car out of the garage the other day and noticed that one of my rear sensors was pushed in! Dosent look like anyting is broken on it but everytime i put the car in reverse its a constant beep. How do i access the sensors - thru the trunk or under the car?

thanks

This is very difficult to do with a suction device. On my friends E60, we tried and got it to pop out several times but there was no way to make it stay in place. There is a little fastener that holds these flush to the bumper on the inside that has to be clasped in nicely. Still - worth a try. I'd start getting real friendly with your SA though to see if he can given you a break and help you out!
