A mounting assembly (225) for mounting a wheel end sensor (200) in a heavy-duty vehicle hubcap (202) that includes at least one adhesive disposed between the wheel end sensor, hubcap, and/or components of the wheel end sensor mounting assembly to prevent aqueous road contaminants from entering the wheel end assembly and prevent lubricants from exiting the wheel end assembly during operation of the vehicle. According to one aspect of the wheel end sensor mounting assembly, the adhesive is delivered via one or more gaskets (228, 230) formed of a hydrophobic or non-wicking material. The one or more gaskets are disposed between the wheel end sensor, the hubcap, and/or components of the wheel end sensor mounting assembly. The one or more gaskets and the adhesives provide sealing interfaces between the components.
