Nothing happened? Not that I think of. I mean I checked the rear bumper for any damage and there was nothing. I noticed the two in the rear that are to the left are out of place and one of them fell almost all the way in. I'm going to take it to the dealer this weekend because this should be covered by warranty since it wasn't anything I did.

Is your GS a 2014+ model? Well these newer model have the flush mount sensors which I believe are easier to pop loose with a little pressure. One of my front sensor pop loose while i was hand washing my own car. I didnt even apply any pressure to it when I was washing and it still pop'd loose. I owned a 2006 LS 430 for 7 years and those sensors will never pop loose like this.

I've honestly noticed a lot of things on this car that feel cheap. For a $50,000 car, I think they could've used much better/durable parts.

Unless you find enough room to pull your hand from the bottom side but there is might be rear reinforcement on your way.
