Front bumper pdc sensor change

My front right pdc sensor isn't clicking. Long beep when I go into reverse. Looked at it tonight, can't see how to replace it.. Looks like I need to take bumper off... Please tell me that I am wrong?,!

Pup

Another possibility, I wiggled the wires on each rear pdc the other night and all was well pdc worked, until I drove it the next day.. I suspect a loose or dirty connection... All are clicking except front right...

Where to start?

Pretty sure you can un-clip those and push in from the outside with the bumper on. But I could be wrong.

Front left required bumper removal for me. Others might be doable without removing bumper.

Ricky Bobby will become famous soon enough
On the facelift, if its the corner sensors they are a right angle sensor (not straight like the other 6), and you'll have to drop the bumper for them.

On my pre-facelift I had a dead sensor in front middle and rear middle and they were able to be R&R'ed without removing bumper, from the backside

I was not able to get mine out, in the center with bumper on car. Bumper cover removal is actually quite easy.
