I'm actually using a post it for now (it works). I am eventually going to put something black to cover it. I actually made a video showing how just covering those sensors prevent the false laser alerts. Valentine V1 here. You'll be able to see in the video that when I put my hand over the sensors, the laser alert goes away, the moment I remove my hand, the laser alert comes back.


-- As a sidenote- this thread should probably be stickied.... anyone with an 2018 M3/M4 using a radar/laser detector is going to want to know how to get rid of the CONSTANT false laser alerts. This fix will prevent countless headaches....I myself drove the car 5000 miles constantly "muting" every false laser alert.
And again thanks to @F80Doug for the fix. This is literally life saver for me.
Electrical Tape is best for a short term solution per my advice in one of the other threads below. If it doesn't already exist, could have some overlays made from vinyl or ultra thin CF Self Adhesive veneer to match the interior trim for a semi-permanent fix.


Definitely don't use a lead apron though
