Front parking sensor replacements
One of my front parktronic sensors is failing when it gets wet and keeps triggering the parktronic randomly. I'm getting conflicting information on replacement part numbers for the E55 2005 could anyone confirm exact part number of replacement sensor please. Are the front and rear sensors the same?
Also anyone know how to remove bumper strip holding the parking sensors is it just a case of levering the strip from the outer side out then replacing the faulty sensor?

Use this
Front sensors are part nr
A0015427418
Replaced by
A0035428718 so both will work.
For the removal Front Strip Removal use this but I advise adding tape to avoid scratching the paint it is a rather easy process and the plastic tools are really good to have don't use metal![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I did it the opposite way start from the outerside if you start at figure 2 once is loose kind of slide the trim inwards to the left and it can be pulled out don't start at figure 1
