I thought the sensor was on the passenger-side near the front grill anyway?
That's where the sensor is on my co-workers R/T and on my wife's Jeep GC.

How about moving that sensor into the front right fender? That way it's
isolated from wind, sun,
engine heat, and such...
Just a thought, I haven't even looked to see if it's feasable...
