Thank you for this. A nice lady bumped my 2018 Taco in a parking lot. I figured it would be bad karma to pursue an insurance claim and hoped I could fix it myself. With your help I did! I decided to forego the metal clip entirely and it seems fine for others interested. Thanks again.

Thanks for posting the video, it was exactly what I needed to know. You should add "back up sensor replacement" to the title. Your video does not come up on a search for Tacoma back up sensor, but it is exactly what everyone that has to replace one needs to know.

I wouldn’t have held it against you if had just left the camera rolling. It lets us know how much of a pain in the ass it was to get it in there right. Lol…

I’d rather they show it in it’s entirety so we can decide if we really want to take the project on ourselves. Thanks for the reply.

Hi thank you for the video, I have a 20/22 not sure if that's gen 3 or not. But what I was wondering is the metal clip you had to get on behind the bumper and slide it in how did you get your hand behind their there was not even enough room to get my finger behind it. I have not attempted changing the cover yet but just had that big question? Thank you ahead of time

The spacing on each bumper is different. You could loosen the bolts that attach the bumper to the frame. Or maybe recruit a small child.

As a follow up - just got done replacing mine with a reproduction part off of eBay. Things of note: 1 - the reproduction part is thicker and the backing sensor holder didn’t want to stay in place. Dremeled a little off around the hole and it fit okay (not perfect) 2 - that metal clip is a major PIA. I ended up leaving it off. Doesn’t seem to affect the cover from staying tight to the black surround.

Mine parking sensors work fine. Not sure why you would have to recalibrate the sensor if the same one is installed in the same place? Maybe if you have other features they are used for. Mine only has BSM and parking since it’s a 2016.

Hoping to fix my BSM error after watching this video. It exposes the sensor. Not sure what's wrong but I hit it off roading the other day and now its not working. I think the plastic pieces that the bumper cover connects to is snapped and broken, so it might need more than just the cover. Surprised you replaced it with just a couple scratches on the bottom side. But I understand wanting things perfect. and that is why I am going to try and fix mine too. Not a fan of the dash lights from the disconnect.

I dented my left rear bumper cover, and I'm arguing with the dealership currently. I just bought 2022 tacoma an they are telling vehicle needs to go to body shop. My argument is you should be able to get a replacement bumper cover from factory an color match it. They say no it needs to go to a body shop. This is not a simple dent it's pretty messed up. I feel like what I'm suggesting is exactly what body shop is going to do.

Like in the video there are 2 tabs under the bumper you can easily reach but I had to pull mine off with the top piece seated. Only when I got the caps off I noticed 2 more places the top piece clipped in closer to the rear of the truck if that makes sense. I don't know the correct way of doing but got it done with force. Tore off the tabs of the caps with that funky fastener with the teeth holding it.
