    Here in Vermont, the roads are pretty sloppy a lot of the time during the long winter. It is hard enough keeping the rear window clean on wagon style vehicles such as the Subaru Outback Legacy, even with the rear wiper/washer.

    I am wondering if the rear camera lens gets coated pretty quickly?

    Thanks. I suppose when you can't see out, you aren't going anywhere very fast anyway so cleaning it isn't much of a problem.

    I do wonder if the it would eventually get scratched if you just use your finger on the grit though?
