when removing the rear bumper, do the rear sensors complicate the procedure?

haven't done it yet but would like to install bike rack so I would prefer to know all the variables prior to starting the process.

Thanks.

 

The sensor pop out towards the body from the bumper and are clipped in. You will have to reach up and unplug the sensors ( 4 of them ) then finish un-cliping the bumper. You can keep the sensors in the bumper if you want , just watch not the break the clips in the bumper that hold them in.
