- Ensure the paint does not exceed 6 mils. Use a paint thickness gauge suitable for non-ferrous metals. Refer to «Paint Gauges»(ref-491175-S32515039352012073000000) .

- Install the rear bumper fascia. Refer to «Rear Bumper Fascia Replacement»(ref-491147-S08897851832012073000000) .
The housings are adhesively retained to the backside of the fascia and must be removed prior to paint refinish operations every time the fascia is refinished due to paint bridging concerns. Adhesive tape cannot be removed and re-used with retention confidence. Thus the rear object sensor housing is considered a onetime use application, requiring that all 4 housings be replaced every time the fascia is refinished.
