Default Front Parking Sensor Pushed In

Hey all. Don't know what happened but one of my front parking sensors has been pushed in a bit. Anyone have experience with this or know if it is an easy fix? Thanks!

I believe that you need to remove the bumper cover.

My recollection is that there is a "clip/holder" that attaches to the back of the bumper cover and that holds the sensor in place. You need to remove the bumper cover to get access to that spot, and, assuming that there is no damage to that clip, you would, then, be able to snap it back into place.

I had the same issue 1 month after I bought a brand new lexus rx350h (2023). I spoke with lexus dealership, they said bring in the car and they`ll fix it. But I wasnt happy with the fix and called them again, they inspected the car again and told me the sensor holder needs to be replaced and they`ll have to order a new one. The most annoying part was them sending me a text before each appointment telling me "for faster check out visit our secure payment link". And i always told them the car is under warranty to which they responded ... "oh diagnostic charges are up to technicians discretion".
Anyways, they replaced it and its good now, they haven't charged me anything for all 3 visit but it definitely gave me anxiety every time.
