Help! Parking sensor fell off
My rear parking sensor on the passenger side got pushed back, does anyone know how to put it back in? I have a bmw 545i e60. Do I need to take off the bumper? Or just remove the tail light to reach the sensor?if anybody has instructions or a link to a tutorial video let me know, Thanks in advance

One of my parking sensors got pushed in but was a front one. I got an industrial type glue gun from my dad and reglued it . So far it's holding up good . There is also epoxy glue for plastic applications from auto zone that would prolly work just as good too .

You will need to pull the bumper away enough to get behind it. It could be that it's only unsnapped from the holder which would only require to reset it. If the bracket is damaged then the best thing is to continue to remove bumper and repair it accordingly. BMW sells a repair kit. But before I purchased one I would confirm that the sensor just doesn't need to be locked back in position. I had one many years ago on the front where the actual sensor unsnapped from the holder.
