Stolen bumper bar sensor? Please help

Hi, everyone

New to this forum, looking on advice on getting at replacement part for my gen5 Liberty GT GEN5 Wagon. It is the RHS "collision sensor in the front bumper", as I have currently been informed. Very annoying, as I have only driven it to the supermarket market the other day only to find the painted plastic cover and the other piece that connects it GONE! Has someone pinched it off me? I tried opening the LHS one which was rather easy but very hard to pull off, let alone the plastic connector in-between which has also disappeared! Any help would be great, especially on scouring parts. Also any additional advice on what these sensors do? As I can only assume from my google research.

Many thanks to anyone who can give me any advise. Cheers mates.

That's not a collision sensor. It's a cover for the headlight water spray. Someone either stole it for their own vehicle, or bumped into your vehicle and you never noticed it pop off previously.

I would go to a wrecker and see if there's one you can take from a wrecked vehicle (or buy the entire water spray assembly if required).

They are available on ebay for $20 inc freight. not sure if they are 'side specific' or one size fits all.

Looking at the shape of the cover and the actual hole in the OP's pictures, they well be side specific.
If OP takes his car to the wrecker they might well try it on for him.
I doubt they would let you take it out the car first, especially without paying... too many drive offs. :angry2: :angry2: :angry2:
