Common complaint on the cheap aftermarket ones.

on amazon has a perfect fitting camera. I did mine earlier this year.
Make sure you also order the
housing housing
. You will break it when you remove the old one.

Very easy. There was a video somewhere on youtube that I watched. As I had been warned, I broke the tabs removing mine just like most do. I ended up mounting the ford logo to my toolbox LOL.

I just used good 2 sided tape and put the logo back where it goes. Its not like you have to remove it regularly.

I ended up getting a 2015-2018 Ford Mustang FR3T-19G490-AE OEM salvaged camera off eBay for $23.

Working well so far, put it in a couple weeks ago. Two things of note though.
1. Parking lines seem narrower, still plenty useful for parking, but took a few days to adjust to them
2. I can't turn off the lines, the setting will save enabled/disabled in the menu, but the lines are always enabled. Not that I want to disable them, but did find it a bit curious.

Overall pretty happy with it, functional enough and way cheaper than a brand new oem camera and should be more reliable than a aftermarket one.

I broke my tabs too, I know years back when I swapped the tailgate I managed to remove the logo intact, but lightning didn't strike twice, so now I've got it taped on with some vhb.
