04 Temp Sensor, out of its clip and hanging

Somehow my temp sensor has come loose and it hanging below the front bumper of my 04 sl55.

It looks like a little cone. I called the dealer, he said there was a clip near the fog lamp that it hooks into.

I tried to get under the car but it is all closed up tight as fas as I can tell.

Any ideas? Would prefer just to pop it in myself.

I think you might need to remove the mesh from the bumper to get to it. It pops out of the clips easily, but be careful not to break anything nonetheless.

My front grill is also currently missing. In thinking both happened at the same time. i will try to get to it through the front opening and let you know how that goes.

'03 SL55
The shroud below the engine is pretty easy to unbolt and refasten. If you remove it, will that open up the compartment you need?
