Easy to get off. 2 fixings in each arch and think its 4 under the rear valance. Open the boot and remove the plastic guard where the boot catch is. Undo the underside 1st then the arches then pull from the arches and it will drop better if you have 2 people do it. Be careful of the wire for the fog light and drop it onto a sheet so you dont scratch it.
it will feel stubborn under the lights but it will come off. When refitting put it back under the lights first.

Can you not get an arm in there to re-locate it? One of our cats used to sleep in the rear bumper of our VXR8.

It is. The cat would of sneaked in by the back boxes. Unless you have a 4ft multijointed arm I would take the bumper off lol

also use a decent superglue to refit the sensors dont use a water based one as it does take a lot of spray on the inside.

OK the fix was easy than I thought and it looks like Araf was right as usual

You can push your arm over the rear box and feel the sensor which popped back in its hole job done
