Sensors Going Wacko!

Sensors Going Wacko!
So basically when I got my vinyl done he did the front bumper and sensors, per my request. The sensors were fine but maybe 3 days later they started to go off with nothing in front of them. My question is anyone that has had there sensors done can you take a close up pic of your F-Sport bumper, and post to this thread or PM me. Thanks for your help it's really appreciated.
UPDATE: The sensors are working now with no problems I have not had any issue's with the sensors going off randomly.

was there any ice or snow on the sensors? that will cause them to activate... it happened to me until i got out and saw that there was a fine sheet of ice on my sensors, i cleaned off the ice... problem solved.

My front proximity alert does the same thing when ice or snow layers on the front of the vehicle. Yesterday, I received an alert asking that I remove ice from the front parking sensors every time I came to a stop. That was the first time I received that message. In previous cases, the sensors registered that I was at the minimum distance and would give me a fast tone when I slowed down to a certain speed.
As far as vinyl, consider this: There are different thicknesses of vinyl. Perhaps the sensors are only affected when using vinyl above a certain thickness.

Nope no snow, car is still parked in the garage, clean as a baby's butt! I think it's the vinyl but why would it take so long to react. I know some people have gotten there's done as well. What was the outcome I need my guy to fix this but want to make sure it doesn't happen again.

I think it might be accessible through the "hidden menu":

Could be the contraction, temperature has been the same for the most part nothing really warm. My thought is that the sensors have to be free from the bumper, so he needs to cut them loose instead of having the whole bumper wrapped with the sensors. If that makes sense. The sensors are the rubber rings correct.

Thats weird cause I plasti dipped mine and they are fine. Maybe the vinyl is different though. If it persists you can always buy the black sensors, but obviously that is more money and not ideal.

If it needs to come to that I will but don't want to spend that money yet if it's necessary.
