rear parking sensor pushed in

Post by JO1980 »

Hi there,

I came back to my car today after parking on the street to find someone had kindly pushed in one of my rear parking sensors!! :?

Can anyone tell me if they are easy to fix at home or is it best just leaving in the hands of the VW dealer?

Many thanks

No, no marks around it or the bumper at all, i checked that all out thinknig some scumbag had bumped into me. I'm definately thinking some kid thought it's a lovely button to push in, and gave it a good seeing to. It's not pushed too far, just enough for me to notice it and it to become v annoying everytime I see it.

The sensor is still bonded to the bumper, just the small centre piece is now pointing more downwards rather than being flush with the bumper.

ANNOYING!

Thanks anyway for your comment :)

ahh well if the surround is still there the middle bit should just clip in, you might get your hand up underneath and pop it back in, give it a try
