Parking Sensor Caved In - How Do I Fix It?
Hey there! I recently purchased a used '13 C63 and the Parktronic was acting up today. I got out to look at the sensors and this front driver side one is sunken in.
The dealership said over the phone they'd probably need to take the bumper off to fix it but there's over a week long waiting list for it to be seen.
How can I fix this quickly on my own instead? Thanks!

jack up the car, take off the under panel, reach up behind there and see if you can pop it back into place. Or, if it's close to center top, you can try and go in from behind the grill if you have small hands.

I think you will need to pull the bumper off to get at it. Trying to remember from the last time I had the bumper off but I think there is hard styrofoam in the way.

Correct there is that styrofoam in the way. You need to take that bumper off. Pretty straight forward to do. GL
