So yesterday was I believe the hottest day of the year and I had to make a trip up to Baltimore. 85 degrees in my parking garage, ~105 on the highway, and a brief ~115 in the tunnel under the harbor in Baltimore. I happened to use the windshield wiper cleaner switch at some point at low speeds, and when I got there I noticed the cover for the headlight washer was gone. Odd, really odd, no evidence of a tapped bumper or anything but I figured it could have happened at anytime and I might not have noticed.

When I left Baltimore I was parallel parked, and I did the normal reverse / forward / reverse thing with perfectly functional parking sensors. Getting home I go to back my car into my parking spot, and there's that really annoying BEEEEEP that happens when something is right up against the bumper. I get out to see, and there's just a small perfect hole where the sensor used to be. Again, no evidence of bumps.

One thing is just **** luck, but two is more than a coincidence and hard to swallow. Any thoughts?

Any thoughts?

The headlight washer covers are a popular target for theft. They snap on to the washer jet but are fairly secure--I've never seen one just pop off.

Check inside the bumper cover for your missing sensor. I've little doubt that it fell/was pushed into the bumper, and is still connected and functional--hence the annoying BEEEEEEEEP, because it's sensing the proximity of the inside of the bumper cover.

My washer cover popped off at some point this week. Did you ever get it replaced? If so, for how much.
