Hi everyone,
For a while I have been trying to work out the best way to mount a rear dash cam.
In the past I have managed to stick it to the frame of the rear hatch, but that leaves you with the hassle of threading the wire behind the trim and through the rubber grommet, or just letting it dangle from the edge of the headliner. The latter is easier but looks messy and the cable often gets caught in the rubber seal which could lead to water ingress.
Having tried to knock up a bracket that clips under the edge of the headliner and failed I came across a guy on eBay that had made such a bracket using 3d printing, however this was for a BMW estate.
I took a punt and purchased one, it arrived well packed and very quickly.
Tried it this morning and it fits perfectly. Well pleased.
This provides the perfect platform to attach a camera, and the cabling is far simpler. Also no damage to the car.
Pictures attached, last one from the advert as not had cameras fitted yet.
eBay item 125409421166.
Just in case it's of interest.
