Rear wiper delete camera install

[Locosiete]

Never really felt like the rear window had great visibility and then after adding a small sound system it reduced the view slightly more. 

 

Since i have a small obstruction blocking my view out the rear window thought why not remove the rear wiper and put in a camera. Process was pretty easy for the most part. Removed the 2 screws and popped the clips out. By no surprise the rear wiper motor screws holding it together were loose from a small vibration i have 😆 😅 😂 

 

 

Used cut the rear wiper grommet out for camera and mounted it upside down to reduce angle of camera. While not a perfect solution it does allow me to see much better when backing up since rear view mirror is not very helpful anymore  😆 😅 😀 😄

VERY INTERESTING! One question, did you already have a backup camera wired thru the car or did you have to do that also? My friend says I can come and take camera and any needed wiring from one of his parts carts for the wifes '13 RT {big screen radio} and equipped with back up SENSORS that show in the EVIC screen between the gauges. I get so little down time with that car that it's hard to take things apart just to see what I may need. Of course I'll be using the factory mount location.

I had previously installed a backup camera in-between the license plate lights. Worked fine for backing up but rather see behind me in general. 

 

I tucked the wire between the Headliner and door seal and ran it down the a-pillar. Hardest part was trying to fish the wire in the rubber grommet at the rear gate. At the end made a small hole at base of grommet and wire is outside the rubber sleeve 

 

I should add the new camera had different plug so had to run wire again.  Just taped new end to old and used it to fish it threw
