The downside of the roll-down rear window (rear-facing dash camera)

[Riviera]

While the roll-down rear window is one of the top distinguishing features of the 4Runner, I was just thinking, if I get a 4Runner, how will I mount my rear-facing dash camera? It normally mounts via adhesive to the window itself.

Has anyone installed a rear-facing dash camera (even on prior generations since they would have the same dilemma) using some sort of bracket that I guess would adhere to the trim pieces either above or below the window? I think if you mounted it from above, the image would be upside down.

From a quick google search, looks like they made some aftermarket options for the 5th gen

Thanks for that. Wonder if the same bracket works on 6th gen.

Keep us posted if you buy it and try it out, I think lots of us would love to know!

I'm trying to devise a way to mount my weather proof outside camera under the spoiler, as mounting seen in the photo on this thread will be fine as long as the window is clean. The wiper doesn't cover this part of the window, however.
