Abstract
In a touch sensor unit, since a base portion is provided with a hard resin portion for holding a curved state of a sensor portion deformed in conformity to a curved shape of a door frame of a tail gate, even when the base portion is not fixed to the tail gate, it is possible to hold the curved state of the base portion. Therefore, after the curved base portion is fixed to the tail gate with a double-sided adhesive tape, even if the double-sided adhesive tape is degraded with age, a restoring force of the sensor portion does not remove the double-sided adhesive tape.
