How to Retrieve a Parking Sensor Dropped Inside the Bumper on a Volkswagen Golf

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VII, MK 7, Golf 7 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Parking sensors

In this video, we see how to solve a common problem: a YouTuber, owner of a Volkswagen Golf 7.5, accidentally pushed a sensor inside the bodywork while cleaning the car. Every time he slowed down, the sensor triggered, detecting the bumper as an object in front, which became very annoying. He initially thought he would have to remove the entire bumper, but without help, that would have been a big problem. He devised another method: remove all the screws from the wheel arch, loosen the bumper, and from underneath, use a tool as shown in the video to retrieve it and then reattach it.
