Toyota 4runner rear camera mount

[Rave]

Any one installed f770 back camera on a Toyota 4runner? Since the back window can move up and down, the rear camera cannot mount on it.

That's a problem! The only hope you may have is like the attached. Attaching it to the roof but looking out of the rear window if possible. We have done this on a couple of vehicles the main issue is if you are loading a lot or large items often in the boot as it more liable to get knocked off.

Thank you Maddog1974 I am going to take that path since I really overload my truck. After install I will post some pics.
Thanks again.

I fitted one inside a bit of plastic tube, after I cut a "window" in it with dremel, drilled 2 x 8mm holes one at each end throungh which a screwdriver goes, 180 degrees opposite a 3mm hole for the screw screwed into the area at rear of roof as this is always double skinned, the cam has thin foam tape around it to make it snug but this stops the vibration, sits horizontally, cam can be taken out of tube easy if needed but very well protected like this as well.

Sounds like a good idea. Can you post a picture of your install? Thanks.

I didn't take pictures at the time, it was actually on a Ford Bronco, from memory might have been a blazer did it for a GI, I will see if I can get piccie he said there was no vibration issue or anything and worked well it was around 3 1/2" to 4" long from memory.
