i had one outside on a previous vehicle and it was constantly dirty with road grime and mud and snow. dirty windows can be cleaned with the wipers from inside the vehcile at any point, even while driving, and doesn't require me every single time to ensure that i wipe the camera lens before driving.
thanks for sharing all this! i'm fairly disappointed that you have to pay for the hardware ($40+ on amazon) and then an additional monthly subscription 😖
thanks for posting this of what you've done!
soon i'm going to replace the plastic retaining clips with a screw like you have, but wanted to know if you happened to know what size of u-nut and corresponding screw size that fits in the hole. that'd save me a bunch of time on trial and error...
@vready thanks for sharing this, this is helpful!

took a bunch...
posted this in another thread but wanted to have visibility here for others too:
went with the capitol from sherpa, since i’ve never installed a rack (let alone one from sherpa) can someone who has installed the capitol take some photos of what the rubber stoppers and the bolts look like on...
went with the capitol from sherpa, since i’ve never installed a rack (let alone one from sherpa) can someone who has installed the same sherpa take some photos of what the rubber stoppers and the bolts look like on theirs? wanting to see how much, if any, the rubber block should be squished down...
lookin gooood!!
did you move the rear camera after adding your swing tire mount? lookin to do the same but wanting to have access to the rear camera and don’t know where or how to go about it (plus any recalibration the system might need too)
sheesh dude. might be a good idea to step away from your keyboard a bit and touch some grass.
plenty of ways to give help someone out on the forums and steer them the correct direction without being a jerk; this aint it

ohhh nice!! thanks for posting with an image so i could see!
separately with the spare up there, does it affect any of the sensors or cameras? thanks again!
yeah, i've been running them on 4 of my other vehicles for the past few years and they're always great! been waiting (sometimes patiently) for the unit for the 6th gen to arrive!
