Default Parking Assist Sensor Error - Back Issue

Hello All:
I've never used the Parking Assist function on the car except to test it out a couple of months ago. It worked then.
Last week I slowly backed into a metal garbage can when parking in a commercial lot. No big deal - got a small scratch or two on the back bumper (Will likely buff out at some time).
Yesterday I turned on the Parking Assist for kicks - and sure enough I got the following errors:
* Dash display "Check Sonar" with flashing lines indicating the issue is in the back
* Screen displays "Check the Parking Assist Sensor" with images of the issue being in the back

My guess is that one of the four sensors in the back hit the can and is likely not working.

Questions:
Anyone have experience with replacing one of the sensors? What does it take to access them and switch one out?

I see a few listed on Amazon fone or around $15 and one for $35. Has anyone purchased replacement sensors? Will this non-OEM work?

$15
Amazon Amazon

$35
Amazon Amazon

Thanks All!

You need the OEM sensors. Go to a body shop, they will know what is needed. You probably have to take the bumper off.
