Can you change parktronic sensors w/o removing bumper?
One of my front parktronic sensors has gone nutty in the front when the car sits in direct sunlight.
I'd take it to the dealer to have them fix it, but the sensors are dirt cheap, and I don't have a lot of time to drop the car off. I'd rather just replace the sensor.
So, the question is, can you just pop off that trim piece to replace a sensor, or is it more complicated than that? If I have to remove the bumper (which I've done before), then I may just let them deal with it, since its something of a pain by yourself.
thanks all

Depends what sensor is bad.if a side sensor is the one remove the inner fender liner ...If it's the inner one then the bumper should be removed
