Take care of your tools:

The toolset described in this manual is used to make clean holes in plastic bumpers without burrs. This is necessary when the replacement bumper supplied by the manufacturer does not have the holes for mounting the parking sensors.
According to some manufacturers’ repair instructions, holes should be drilled only after painting to guarantee, once repaired, an appearance as close to the original as possible.
Furthermore, the centering pins contained in the toolset ensure the correct fixing and alignment of the sensor support during fastening (welding/gluing).

INSTRUCTIONS

warning: Always pay attention to the repair specifications and instructions provided by the car manufacturer!

The sensors’ position is usually indicated by the manufacturing marks found on the inside of the bumper. (Fig. 1) There may also be a template suitable for the car or bumper among the components of the adjustment tool set.
Drill a hole for each mark using the 18 mm drill bit. Place the drill bit exactly in the center of the mark and drill from the inside to the outside. (Fig. 2)
Choose the punching machine that matches the mark on the bumper. Insert the punching machine into the 18 mm hole from inside the bumper. Orient the punching machine according to the mark on the bumper. (Fig. 3)
Now place the matrix on the bumper as follows: position the corresponding matrix on the punch’s shank so that the guide pin (grub screw on the matrix) fits exactly inside the guide groove on the punch’s shank. The matrix should now adhere to the outside of the bumper.
Tip: in order to protect the bumper, you can first apply some adhesive tape on the painted surface. (Fig. 4+5)
At this point, the drive unit with the thread is first inserted into the matrix coupling and then screwed by hand. (Fig. 6)

Warning: before starting the punching operation, make sure that the mark is oriented exactly as shown in the figure on the inside of the bumper.

To perform the punching, connect the 3/8” ratchet wrench provided in the tool set. Act on the ratchet wrench to punch the hole (Fig. 7), which will result in a custom hole for the specific sensor support.(Fig.8+9)
Then install the sensors in the bumper.
