I don't think there is anywhere to put the camera where it can function and it won't get dirty. I'm in a 2017 Cadillac CTS rental for work now, and the camera is WAY worse than the one on my truck. It is "protected" up under the trunk deck and gets covered. Plus the resolution is crap and it's distorted. The rear of a vehicle is a low pressure area so dust gets sacked in and without air flow to remove the water, it gets dirty.

I suggest driving REALLY fast in reverse, or use your mirrors like the olden days.

Personally I do the finger wipe method whenever I remember or when I notice it is really bad.

Camera source makes one of those.

I purchased this one not too long ago. It has worked out great. It keeps the rear camera on my 2017 F150 much cleaner.

A good concept and should work well. I got a hoot out of this quote about the 3D printer striations: "Shield is scientifically engineered with micro airfoils to help deflect wind and debris away from the Camera Lens." Good marketing spin.

Yep, just another spammer... not even a very good one.

So what is wrong with that?....The problem has not gone away and there is now a feasible solution. Like everyone else I have had the same problem with the rear view camera on my 2017 F150.

Participating in an ongoing or active discussion would go over a lot better than digging up nearly 3 year old threads so you can pimp your product.

I am not the seller, I am an applications engineer for a software company. I just remembered trying to find the same thing on various forums not long after buying my truck. So thought I would reply. I remembered this site and had to join to make the reply and last night when trying to get to the original thread i saw this one. So I thought I would share.

I am not a big online social media guy. Never have had FaceBook, Twitter or anything else. I am a 56 year old that thought he could share a solution to a problem.

Didn't mean to offend.
