Default Anyone know how to remove front parking sensors

I have a nick on my ES350 front parking sensor and would like to pop it out to fix it properly. I couldn't figure out how to get it out even from behind the bumper. Even GS350 instructions would be helpful. TIA

You might have to remove the front bumper cover to get access to the clip holding it in.If you get under the car and remove the cover under the motor you may reach in there and be able to slide the clip that holds it in place.

I actually removed the front bumper last night and still could not figure it out. The ES350 uses round sensors instead of the rectangular sensors on the GS350 so they are a little different but I am hoping that someone might know the trick to getting these out. Yes, all of this trouble for a little nick on a parking sensor.

Exactly what I was looking for! I didn't realize that the retaining tab was a separate piece. How did you get that? Did you subscribe?
