VOLVO S60 D4 Dynamic Edition : Painted the millimeter wave radar sensor cover 07

Looking around at the stock vehicles at the location where I went to look at this vehicle, I noticed that all of the models from that era had a millimeter wave radar cover that fit inside the grille, and both ends of the outer clear plastic cover had lifted off of the base and were discolored white. So I decided to try painting it.

To remove this cover I needed to remove the grill, and to remove the grill it looked like I would need to remove the bumper, so I got a hold of a junk grill and checked the structure from the back. So I folded back a general-purpose stay to make a tool, which I inserted into the side of the front cover, opened the tab on the back, and devised a way to remove just the cover, so I tried it out.

The idea worked well, and I was able to remove only the cover. I painted it, added lines with a mirror seal, and put it back on to finish it.

The top is the original state. The marble pattern is not bad, but the peeling on both sides is still bothersome.

Finished by adding lines with mirror stickers. The cover that came with the Junk Grill is peeling off from the top left and right sides.

Painted matte black...
The way the light reflects off it makes it appear to bulge in the center.

My fingers couldn't reach the back and I couldn't push the cover out, so I attached a strong suction cup of the navigation stand and pulled it while prying the nails off.

Insert it from the front and pull it, then feel it against your nail and press it inward.

You can remove the cover by pushing the tabs inward with the tool at the circled areas.
