3M molding tape will do the trick!

3M "VHB" style tape. If you properly prepare your surfaces clean with alcohol wipes (and let dry!) it'll glue a fart to an ice cube.

+1, including the fart and ice cube

just out of interest, how difficult is it to remove the item from the vhb tape

[Holla]

You can get some fishing line to slice thru the sticky tape then some goof off and a razor to clean everything up.

Stuff is so strong it will hold pictures up to 200lb.

Had my old M47 attached using it. Had no problem get it off.

If I need to use two (2) pieces of the 3M "VHB" tape between the sensor and the mounting surface, for spacing purposes, do I need to do anything special where the two flat pieces of tape join to each other? Or can I just place one piece of tape upon the other? (In other words, one piece of tape will be on a surface of the car, the second piece of tape will be on the sensor. Can I just push the tape on the sensor right onto the tape on the car's surface?)

You can just add pieces as needed. When I did my last ALP install, I used the brackets, problem with tape is that it very hard to make the needed small adjustment after you get them installed. Alignment is very important. I recheck my all the time and can make the needed adjustments. They will move with time.
