Hi there....
One of the rear PDC sensors has been partially pushed into the hole while it was being cleaned so is not flush with the surface of the bumper.
Are they supposed to be so easy to become pushed in and is there any way of getting it back out again so it is flush without taking it to a dealer/mechanic?
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks

They are easily pushed back out - they are only held in by plastic lugs behind the bumper - the difficult bit is getting to the back of them to push it.
If it is the drivers side one, then you can unscrew the plastic tray behind the rear wheel - it is good-natured, so you can bend it enough to get your hand up and push. If it is the passenger side, you can get your hand up beside the silencer (make sure it's cold though!!). You may be able to just reach the passenger side inner one from here too - especially if you have a small child handy. The drivers side inner is a bit more of a problem, but even if you have to undo the bumper, it is only held on by 2 Torx bolts - one behind the each boot side panel. Undo the small plastic clips within the rear wheel arch liner and the ones underneath at the back (five I think). The bumper will then slide out enough for you to get a hand in - there would be no need to remove the bumper completely.
