I finally took a picture of the rear camera relocation.
A friend and I relocated the rear camera to inside the hatch just below the third brake light. It seemed like a fairly simple task to just shorten the wires and reconnect but ultimately it didn’t turn out so simple, never does. There were so many wire ties holding the cable in place it was easier to actually lengthen the wire and run it back up. Then came the dilemma of the mount. After considering several options, we ended up cutting the OEM mount down to fit. A little fine tuning with a file to get the angle just right and it works pretty well. Up close it looks like a hack job in need of a true mounting solution but it’s very functional. Sorry no exterior photo as yiu can’t really see it behind the glass.
