FYI - Parking Sensors in rear bumper Issue

[maxx075]

Just an FYI for an issue that I had to deal with earlier. The two (that I know of) rear parking alert sensors in the plastic bumper are only secured to the bumper with double-sided tape (think command strip material).

I had to rip the plastic housing out and epoxy it into the bumper. Toyota will sale you the plastic housing, but it still only has the double sided tape. Which is why I went with a more permanent approach.

If the housing doesn't come out, it's probably less than $10 to replace, so not a big deal.

The sensor itself clips in to the housing, so it's not like I glued the sensor permanently into the bumper.
