Default Installed sways now the lights will not level

Cayman and I put on the rear F-Sport bar (that is a whole other topic, but it was a PITA) and now the headlights aim way to low when they auto level. To my knowledge the height sensor on the rear drivers side was reinstalled correctly. It was firmly keyed into the hole and tightened down. Anyone have an idea on this?

Eh? We did my rear bar last weekend and didn't touch the sensors at all... (the -front- bar had a level sensor attached though)

Well, we (stupidly) thought it would be easier to separate the rear bar from the end links off the car so we pulled the links with it. This caused me to remove the sensor linkage. It was a real bear to get those links back in...

anyone have an idea?

Its got to be that rear sensor. I would just double check that its in properly. I believe there was a thread about AFS in the suspension section that shows a nice graphic of what it should look like. A lot of ppl had to just swing the arm around and then it was fine.
