Reversing camera mounting Ford Mondeo Mk4

d31b0y

Recently purchased a generic reversing camera and want to mount to the back of a Ford Mondeo Mk4.
Where is the best place to mount it?

Was thinking in the pastic just above the licence plate.

It'll be out of the way but I don't know if I want to drill a couple of holes into that plastic.

What about using something else to mount it that won't cause damage? Would a command picture hanging strip be good enough? I know it would definitely be strong enough but do you think it would last in a car wash for example?

Would under the back bumper be too low? Or is the lower the better? I would mind drilling a couple of holes in the bottom bumper as you'd have to be under the car to notice them if the camera was removed.

TIA for any advice!

left of field idea, but this might work https://sugru.com


edit: Just re-read - not sure if you are looking for "where to mount" or "how to mount", so this suggestion may be of no use

Will it not fit into the number plate light fitting? Any of the kits I've seen have been designed to replace the festoon bulb holder.

Hmm, I will check it out. It was a cheapo chinese reversing camera (same as this one)

Looking for a bit of both to be honest.
I have some sugru at home but didn't find it amazing the last time I used it. Do you really think it would hold up to outdoor wear and tear?

Thanks for the link. I think I will jimmy something with the current camera I have. Not waiting another 6 weeks.
I reckon I can just remove the number plate light from the fitting and use the current case. Just bolt in in place... that'll probably do... maybe
I'll find out after this weekend I suppose.
