Parking Sensor DIY question - rear sensor placement
I've been doing a lot of searching on the forum regarding adding sensors. Several folks have stated the bumper has to come of due to metal behind the bumper skin.
I just crawled under the car and looked, and i see metal below where MB mounts the stock parktronic sensors (which i guess would make sense since MB sensors are bulky as well and wouldn't mount with metal behind them).
Anyway - has anyone done this without taking the bumper off?
The car is a 2013 C300 sport. The stock locations for sensors is here:
And i'm looking at this setup (cheap at $ 20.00!)...
Would love to find "smaller" sensors which look more OEM but no luck thus far.
Anyway - if anyone has any input please advise...
thx
