Missing reflector lens
 
We lost the right rear reflector lens from the bumper. It seems to have fallen out of the bumper. There appears to be no damage or evidence of something bumping into that area.

Has anyone else experienced this happening? :dunno: Will have to have dealer replace it.

yes. It is actually a really flimsy piece. The front ones are the same. If you bump it at the right angle, it actually drops inside the bumper. If it was a direct bump and no rub, you might not see scratch marks but something obviously happened.

I had the front one replaced, it was $15 for parts and about $80 total with labor. They had to remove my fender to get inside the bumper to remove the old one which fell in and charge half hour labor.

Thanks for the input on this. We'll make another visit to the dealer so they won't forget us.:rolleyes: Besides the hole in the bumper looks bad.

Happened to me too on the E70. A 2 second DIY replacement as it just pushes in to place.

I took mine to the dealer to have the lens replaced. They had one in stock and replaced it under warranty.

It's a good time to replace with colour-matched pieces so you won't have the orange eyesore.

the rear ones are just the red ones, I believe illegal to have any other color.

My bad, mis-read the first post. Didn't even know there was a red reflector on the bumper in the rear :dunno:
