<p>A mount for mounting a rain sensor (22) includes a housing (14) having an access opening on first side and a port on second side for positioning adjacent an inner surface (11) of the vehicle windshield. The second side is adapted for mounting to a vehicle windshield (12), for example by a layer (18) of adhesive which is interposed between the housing (14) and the windshield (12). Optionally, the housing (14) includes an access opening and a cover (30), which and covers the access opening. A mirror mounting button (35) is provided on either the housing (14) or the cover (30) for mounting a rearview mirror assembly (40) to the mount. A biasing member (32) is supported in the housing (14) and is interposed between the first side of the housing (14) and a rain sensor (22) positioned in the housing (14), which urges a detecting surface of the rain sensor (22) to project through the port and to optically couple the rain sensor (22) to the vehicle windshield (12) for detecting moisture on an outer surface (13) of the vehicle windshield. The biasing member (32) may comprise, for example, a helical spring or a urethane disc. <IMAGE></p> |
