Cover for Backup Camera

I’ve found looking backwards when backing up helps.

Backup camera is utterly useless here in western Oregon during wet season (Oct - June); just gets covered with mud each time I drive. It really needs a washer spray like the front - I guess it never rains or gets muddy in Dearborn!

I have the same issue when I go duck hunting. Everything's just covered in wet silt so the camera doesn't work. ??

You beat me to it. I'm not old, but old enough to have had most of my cars not come equipped with a backup camera. In fact my Mach E is my first such car. I still look over my shoulder 95% of the time when backing up. I guess you can't teach an old dog new tricks. OK, I guess I am old ?

I think the better solution would be to have a washer for it like the front ones. I’ve seen some cars with that feature, don’t remember which.

I never understood why they didn’t put a washer on the rear camera like they have for the front camera. Pretty stupid, given how filthy it gets.

I wonder how GM solves the problem since their rear view mirrors are electronic?

2023 Ca-1 owner here. What’s all this talk about a washer on the front camera? Mine doesn’t do that.

Test driving the ID.4 I did appreciate the washer for the front camera.
I just want a cowling on the cameras to prevent rain dropping on it. Of course you can’t prevent splashing up front the road, but at least from the top.
