My wife accidental pushed in one of the sensor located on the driver side rear bumper.

Does anyone have any tricks to get this out and put it back in place?

I tried using a tweezer but couldn't get it out. Do I need to remove the bumper trim to get in and push it out? Trying to avoid doing this.

You might try this trick suggested by a poster on a Jaguar forum with a similar problem.

"I used two small fishing hooks. I straightened the fishing hooks, but I bent the tips about 45 degrees or more. Then I grabbed two pairs of needle nose pliers to hold the fishing hooks and use them like a crab's claw. The tips will fit in the little recess on the sensor, with a little pressure the tip of the hooks will dig into the plastic and you can pull the sensor back out. With a little patience and precision you can "fish" (Pun Intended Lol) the sensor back out."

You may try to access and re-position a parking sensor near the side of the bumper through the wheel well or fender liner without removing the bumper .

The Big Question remains: Why and How?

Swap wife?

Swap vehicle?

Thanks for the helpful info.

Turns out the clips on the sensor was broken. Ended up replacing the sensor.
