Parktronic sensor

My daughterr's fiancee has a 2004 CL500. One of the Parktronic sensors has popped through the bumper to the inside of the bumper cover. Does anyone have any idea as to how to get it back out?

I had the same thing happen to my front bumper sensor and it was a pretty easy fix. What you do is get small, flat head screwdriver and gently insert it it between the bumper molding (the piece with the chrome strip attached to it) and the actual bumper. The sensors are attached to this molding. Once you have the molding removed, the sensors are there. Resecure them to the molding and then reattach the molding to the bumper.

I have to reiterate the "gentle" part. You want to avoid scratching the paint with the screwdriver. Good luck.
