Sankey hitch and reversing sensors?

Fitted my sankey hitch to the D3 today as I needed to move the trailer and the defender is out of action.

With the hitch on when reversing without the trailer the centre two reversing sensors are picking it up and on constantly, what have others done to overcome this?

TIA

Have heard bicycle tube repair patches work. So perhaps waterproof Elastoplast might also.

Putty works quite well as long as you stick it in both ears. Also works on MiL!

I cut 2 black grommets to just over half and stuck them on the sensors to cover the tow bar area, working up to now. Neutral
