The upper, bottom and side members of the bracket can also form an opening where a blind spot monitor can be located. The bottom member can have a debris-blocking flange that protects or shields the outer radar surface from debris such as rocks, sand, etc., that are thrown up from a road surface towards the blind spot monitor. The bracket can have a plurality of protrusions to guide the blind spot monitor into the bracket opening. The bracket additionally features clips that affix the blind spot monitor to the bracket prior to installation on the vehicle.
