Great speaker upgrade updates, thank you...keep 'em coming!
I spend the morning finally running my back-up camera from the bottom of the trunk spoiler through the right hand rubber cable channel to the roof, and down to the right cubby hole with the fuse box in it. I thought that I might put in on the tailgate, but after pulling the plastic panels I decided that this was going to be way too hard. I was familiar with the spoiler lip process after running the Sirius radio antenna (under the cheap-o ebay shark fin).
There is significantly more room in the right rubber cable channel than the left, as that one has the tubing for the window wash. The right only has wires and a little WD40 goes a long way. Fortunately the camera manufacturer thought to put a plug in the middle of the wire and and a narrow circular one at that.
I've got my wiring harness all soldered up and wrapped, and now that the antenna and camera are in all I need to do is to run the antenna and camera wires from the back cubbies up to the dash...thats "all". I have no illusions that this will be easy. I also need to find out where to tap into power and reverse signals for the camera and receiver.
The housing I chose is soft rubber with a double sided sticky foam tape. The camera friction fits inside of the housing and can be adjusted by force. I also tried to seal the hole I drilled for the wire with silicone caulk, from the top. I don't expect too much water to get in from the bottom. I do want to get some thicker double sided gasket foam for the shark fin...cheap ebay part didn't come with thick enough gasket in my opinion.
