A sensor assembly mounted on a body panel of a vehicle comprises a sensor housing defining a chamber therein and a sensor housed inside the chamber and facing a vehicle-forward direction. The sensor assembly further comprises a garnish supported on the body panel and coupled to the sensor housing, such that the chamber is formed between the garnish and the sensor housing. The garnish comprises a first region configured to receive high velocity air from the exterior of the vehicle and a ramp region inclined to the first region and extending from a portion of the first region towards a vehicle-rearward direction away from the sensor. The ramp region is configured to receive a first portion of the high velocity air from the first region, such that the ramp region guides the first portion of the high velocity air towards the vehicle-rearward direction away from and over the sensor.
