360 Sun radiation sensor on top of dash

Mine is glued on, is this normal? Shouldn't it be a mechanical fastening?
By the way, what does this sensor do anyways?

I don't know what a sun radiation sensor is, but that looks to be the flashing red light to indicate the car security alarm is set.

 

The name describes the function. As part of the air conditioning system, it measures the perceived temperature caused by the infrared radiation and thus adjusts the desired temperature

 

Fascinating! I always assumed it was a daylight sensor for headlight auto mode for that didn’t exist in the 360.

Interesting! So that sensor is what determines if warmish or coolish mouse farts are to be emitted from the climate "control" system?

 

Something like that. In conjunction with the interior thermometer (unknown opening to the right of the ignition lock), it regulates the interior temperature in automatic mode. A milestone in Italian engineering!

 

There is normally a notched black metal ring that fits to the underside of the dash
