Thanks for posting this. I was needing to pull that off at one time and couldn't find it documented anywhere here in the forums. There were probably some photos somewhere, but my search-fu failed me. I'm not sure if "top panel" is what I would have searched for to find it, though...

In case I ever want to hook up a self-dimming rear view mirror and I have to tap into the wiring.
It's always good to know where those clips are so you can put the pry tool right next to them. 👍🏻

I’ve noticed since the weather got colder here (-5 c), I’ll let my wife park in the garage, while the Mav stays outside (she works, I’m retired). But when I go out later in the day, water droplets are coming down from this area of the ‘camera cover’ inside. Don’t understand why? Opinions?

I have a similar issue. Any time we get freezing temps, I get condensation rolling down the interior of my windshield. I brought it in while it was under warranty, they had a glass guy run water on the windshield to duplicate but I'd tried explaining this was when freezing. Couldn't duplicate (because it wasn't freezing) so no repairs made.

I apologize if this is a dumb question, but what is this camera for exactly? I just discovered this yesterday on my week old Maverick. I haven’t really had time to dig into what it’s actually for.

Ya, same here, not much, just a few drip lines, not enough to drown me😉

Something to consider:
A water leak may be coming from the antenna mount at the back of the cab and making it’s way to the windshield.

Only does it when it’s freezing outside and just a few small lines at that. Never after washing in warmer weather.

Depends on what features you have. It is used for emergency braking and collision detection, and automatic headlights. Im sure there are more functions that others might know.

Automatic headlamp sensor is elsewhere. Bottom front of dash.

Camera also for lane keeping assist, if equipped. And traffic sign recognition if configured.
