Take it back to the dealer as it probably wasn't popped into the holder properly on assembly....... unless you've given it a fair wack? Just pushing it with your finger shouldn't cause it to "unmount".

Otherwise, get somebody with small hands to see if they can get to the sensor.

I washed the car and one of the front ones pushed in one day..without any force...the dealer popped it back out for me.

One of my rear parking sensors has been pushed in and now beeps all the time in reverse regardless of how close I am to anything.

I cant seem to figure out how to get at it to pop it back out without taking the bumper off, which I am not keen on doing myself.

Any suggestions?

Hi johnny , had the same problem when i hit a big pot hole .

Easy fix , you can get your hand in back of bumper , must lay on back ,feel around it will be hanging on cable just push firmly back in , done.

How do you get your hand in behind the bumper? When I felt behind there, there was no gap to put my hand into at all. Did you do this on an Octavia?

johnny i have a wagon may be different on hatch but room to put hand in , you have to lie on your back come in near end not centre of bumper , just feel around you will find cable with sensor dangling , hope this helps.

i know its a pain when bugger beeps at everything

Yea, it's a real pain at the moment every time I put it in reverse beeping at everything. I'll give ur suggestion a crack on the weekend and see if I can get to it, I have a funny feeling though that the wagon may be easier to get to than the hatch, but lets see.

Cheers
