    Just installed a set of bumpershellz and now my passenger side sensor keeps going off for no reason. Sensor wasn’t broken or manhandled during install. After frustrations with the driver side Bumpershell fit I worked it with a heat gun a little bit and made it a little better. Then noticed that the bumper gap is weird near the driver side vs everywhere else like it’s crooked. It’s brand new and I never hit anything so I dunno why it would be that way. I just need a CBi bumper. Any idea on the sensor ?

    The bumpers are known to be crooked on some of them. There is a thread on how to adjust them.....its just loosening 4 nuts on each side.

    Double check the sensor surround for hairline cracks.. or ill-fitting which causes the sensor to slide out and get set off. Maybe look at getting an earlier 07-14 steel bumper sensor surround for a more proper fit?

    I do recall that side being a little tight to put in. Maybe that’s it.
