Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for an external housing assembly of a sensing device externally mounted on a skewed panel of a vehicle. The external housing assembly can provide ingress protection from fluids and foreign objects. In one example, the external housing assembly includes an external housing, a cylindrical conduit, a spacer, a retention nut, and a retention ring. The external housing being configured to surround an aperture of a vehicle. The cylindrical conduit attaches to the external housing, and the sensing device having a lens that is positioned within the cylindrical conduit. The spacer is positioned adjacent to the skewed panel. The retention nut is positioned adjacent to the spacer and is attached to the cylindrical conduit. A portion of the sensing device is positioned between the retention nut and the retention ring. The retention ring is attached to the retention nut.
