Removal Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Buick LaCrosse. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The housings are adhesively retained to the backside of the fascia and must be removed prior to paint refinish operations every time the fascia is refinished due to paint bridging concerns. Adhesive tape cannot be removed and re-used with retention confidence. Thus the rear object sensor housing is considered a onetime use application, requiring that all 4 housings be replaced every time the fascia is refinished.
- Remove the rear fascia. Refer to Rear Bumper Fascia Replacement .
- Remove the rear object sensor. Refer to Rear Parking Assist Alarm Sensor Replacement .
- Remove the sensor housing (1) from the fascia.
- Remove all remaining adhesive.
