Abstract
A method for assembling a vehicle vision system camera module includes providing rear and front housing portions, each having a respective mating surface and perimeter flange at least partially around the mating surface, with the perimeter flange having a securing surface opposite the first mating surface. With the mating surfaces at one another, a securing element is disposed along the perimeter flanges of the front and rear housing portions. First and second tabs of the securing element are bent to overlap and engage the respective securing surfaces of the respective perimeter flanges. The securing element is crimped at the perimeter flanges to urge the mating surfaces against one another to secure the rear housing portion relative to the front housing portion.
