Original Abstract Submitted
A method of coupling a sensor to a metal bumper for a vehicle, including providing a substrate configured as a sheet of metal for forming the metal bumper. The metal bumper is formed from the sheet of metal, the metal bumper having an exterior side and an interior side. An aperture is formed within the sheet of metal, including forming a perimeter of the aperture to receive the sensor therein and forming a tab configured to support the sensor. The sensor is inserted into the aperture from the interior side to an assembled position in which a front end of the sensor is flush with the aperture and the sensor is fixed to the metal bumper by the tab.
