Default GS 350 Park Assist Sensor replace... PLEASE HELP

Unfortunately I hit some debris (truck tire rubber) on the highway and my right front part assist sensor was completely knocked out of the housing.
Has anyone have any experience replacing this sensor?

Everything is where it should be, just little cap that covers hole came off.

I am scared of taking it dealer and informed they have to take the whole front bumper out~~
Any recommendations on where to buy this sensor is appreciative as well. Thanks.

Had similar incident happened to me, a truck had some cardboard boxes flew out hit my passenger front and knock out the sensor, not sure if it got pushed in or flew out altogether. Now it is only a hole (opening). How did you management to find your sensor? I like to do the same and see if I am lucky enough to find it.

They are listed regularly on eBay and are relatively inexpensive.

Ebay and look for an already colored to match your car. Also make sure to buy oem as there are many knockoff brands, I do not know how well they are but a used oem and a new are not to far apart.
