Hi all,
Those living in LA will be familiar with the numerous potholes all over the city. The other day I went through a massive pothole which shook the car quite a bit. The result was that the rear right parking sensor got dislodged and moved inside the bumper. Every time I put the car in reverse I can hear the proximity sensor.

Am I correct in thinking that I need to remove the bumper to fix this? It looks like a very long job. I found the below video. Is that the correct way for a 2009 SL550 or is there a simpler way to remove the rear bumper?


Thanks

Hello, I had the same problem and I followed the steps of the video of youtube to disassemble the bumper. I advise you to put a little hot silicone in the area inside the sensor so that it does not happen again

Thank you. You followed the instructions of the video I posted above or a better one?
I Don't have hot silicone, anything else I can use?

Hello, I followed the instructions of the video that you have put. Disassemble slowly and without haste, it is easy but you have to disassemble carefully so as not to break anything
