The thickness of our bumpers willnot allow you to reuse the outer bezelcages, so after you install the sensor into the bezel, using a zip tie, tighten around the sensor and bezel while pushing zip tie up against bumper.

You can also utilize a small dab ofsilicone between the backside of the bezel and the front face of the bumper.
