Claim:
A stabilizer for placement between a moisture sensor unit and a vehicle windshield, the moisture sensor unit including a plurality of light emitters and detectors covered by an optical coupler and also including a position of incongruence adjacent to, but not including, the light emitters, detectors or optical coupler, the stabilizer comprising: a planar section of support tape having a first bonding surface and a second bonding surface, said first surface being attachable to the position of incongruence on the moisture sensor unit, said support tape being resiliently compressible in a direction transverse to a length of the support tape; adhesive material affixed to both the first bonding surface and second bonding surface of the support tape; and a removable release tape affixed to the second bonding surface wherein said release tape is removed to permit adhesive affixation of said moisture sensor unit to said vehicle windshield, wherein the stabilizer fills a gap between the moisture sensor unit and windshield in the position of incongruence caused by the thickness of the adjacent optical coupler.
