A method of mounting, at a desired location, a vehicle sensor pad for a sensor system of a vehicle wherein the sensor pad is initially packaged in a product that includes a foldable clamshell-type housing folded to a closed position to contain the pre-formed sensor pad that was formed in situ therein when the housing was in an open position, prior to closing. The housing has an enclosed volume bounded by relatively thin and flexible walls, and outwardly extending tabs which facilitate opening. This structure enables the user to easily open the housing to remove the sensor pad, a cured silicone composition, by pushing inward on an outer surface of the outer wall of a base section of the housing. This product reduces the amount of manipulation needed to mount the sensor pad in a desired position, for example, during installation of a rain sensor system for a vehicle windshield.
