I already purchased a G900 and was playing around with how to remove the existing mirror - and this is what you get:
View attachment 7837517
To remove the existing mirror you have to take a flat head screwdriver and pop off a metal C clamp from around the socket for where the ball (pictured above) is affixed to. Then, give a good tug on the mirror to remove from the ball. From what I can tell - the ball about 5/8” in diameter ball, and I’m having a difficult time figuring out how I can attach to that (ram mounts are all much larger). And, I’m having a hard time figuring out how to remove the plastic. My initial thought is to purchase the following ram mounts and attach them to the wolfbox oem backplate: View attachment 7837518
Thanks for blazing the trail. I plan to get the same 900. Keep us all posted on the solution to fit to the ball mount :)

I would prefer to fix the camera inside the door looking through the glass so I don’t need to drill.

Might need to opt for your rear view camera installation. I fitted mine without any drilling and was thinking how to stick down the wire.
Maybe with this?

Wonder how well that will work with factory dark tinted glass?

Hmmmmmm. Good point. I will try it first perhaps before running wires and mounting
The reason that I chose a high position outside the car is that this gives me the best view. The closest view to the rear end of the car (Even with the big spare wheel blocking a part of that view) and a fair amount of distances view to other car’s or obstacles behind me.
Putting it inside is blocking the view of the rear end of the car. So it isn’t really useful.
(I don’t have the standard camera from INEOS installed) For me it’s more the camera function I need than the dashcam function.

I fitted my 9000 rear camera on the outside, without any drilling required.
I may alter the fit and drill through the plastic trim panel as per Voadars method.

Cool can you show the wire run on the roof? Thanks! Only 2-3 more months of planning for me :)

I had one of these printed for me. It fits nicely in my Grenadier.

Awesome work! Looking great.

@Voader - Oudersopzwier Any chance you could take a quick picture of the back of the camera? I’m interested to see where/how you ran the cable in the hole you drilled. Thanks in advance!
Some details about the camera fixation, The plastic cover sits on a plastic trim, connected to the chassis. So you can get the cable under this trim. You need also to loos a bit of the door seal, to get the cable in to the interieur of the car. Than you can guide the cable between the rubber sealing and roof finish towards the corner left or right.

Are those screws already rusted?

Now that these piecess are being removed, can someone please have them scanned for a specialised team to design a new piece with a gutter, not a rolling edge for rain to get us.
A rear awning is useless at the moment unless car is parked downhill.

Perfect! Thank you for the great pictures and good information - I’m feeling much more confident in this installation route.
