Dam PDC fell infront bumper

Hey guys does anyone know how to remove the front bumper to put the PDC back in place?

Its the corner piece that fell in its still alive since it beeps everytime and it shows its close to an object. I read that it is taped or glued in not sure if that accurate? Let me know

If there is a way i can do this without removing the bumper that would be great. Going to give a go at it this weekend so hopefully ill get enough info by then

Thanks in Advance

yes it is, its on the bottom driver side part of the bumper near the corner. I was thinking that but didn't want to start taking parts off to only find out i could've done it another easier way.

Is it true these things are taped in and have no plastic holding piece? Ive been told i can glue it on the inside to hold but i don't know how true that is

The sensor clips into a plastic holder. The plastic holder is fused to the bumper shell, but the holders can pop loose eventually. You can glue the holder back onto the bumper from the inside but you need a special 3M ABS bumper glue if you want it to hold permanently. JB weld etc may or may not hold it long term.
