Rear Dashcam Mounts for Glass, Hatches, and Pickups

The right rear dashcam mount depends on whether the camera is designed for interior glass or exterior use. Prioritize a stable view, full hatch movement, undamaged defroster lines, and a protected cable route.

A rear dashcam mount has to remain steady while giving the lens a useful view through or beyond the rear glass. Fixed interior glass is easiest; liftgates need cable slack through the correct factory conduit, and pickups may need a special approach around sliding windows.

Common questions

Questions before you buy

Can a rear dash cam mount on a defroster line?

Avoid damaging or scraping the conductors. Follow the mount instructions and choose clear glass when possible so removal will not pull at a line.

Can I mount a rear camera outside the car?

Only if that exact camera and its connectors are designed for exterior exposure. Interior rear cameras are not automatically weatherproof.

Where does a rear camera go on a hatchback?

Usually high on the rear glass, provided the cable can move safely with the hatch and the lens remains within the cleared viewing area.

How do I mount a rear dash cam on a pickup?

Check fixed versus sliding rear glass and whether an interior view is adequate. Some kits offer an exterior-compatible rear camera, but installation must protect wiring from weather and movement.
