does anyone know if the left or right section of the 3 part rear window can be replaced individually? 2 dealerships say yes and to call a windshield repair place, the repair place says they have to order the entire 3panel window!

ok, ready to try to modify my cable/harness with a basic push on rg58. I had ripped off the original connector and for me, it's too difficult to make a new one, so i am not concerned about the waterproof connector. Just trying to make sure i order the right parts/tools to make a simple push on connection. Can anyone guide me with exact part numbers? ie, are these 'c', 'smc' connectors? do i need the female end for the cable end? again, i'm just trying to put a connector onto the cable end, not the truck end... Thank you for any help! 4256DB48-2AE7-45B5-92E0-EC3F31B6A818.heic 4FF6783A-D5A7-44DE-AA44-472B0FC88CB2.heic

in my experience it should work ...the connection is on the truck, not the 'trailer' so no reason it shouldn't work. The length of the cable is 55+ feet. I found a hole in the gooseneck and ran the cord up into trailer, then tacked it up all the way to the rear and back out to mount camera on back of trailer. Before i did that, i just ran it on the outside of the trailer with some zip ties to make sure it worked...

i found a 'hole' at the front of my horse trailer where the manufacturer had run the wires for the brakes/lights. There is a track all the way to the back of the trailer so i used it for my camera cable also...at the front, it drops directly down around the gooseneck hitch, so i cable clamped it backwards to just over the trucks connection. CAUTION! i did not allow for a sharp turn of the gooseneck and the first time i did that the camera cables ripped out of the truck connection and i will have to get new connectors which have been difficult to find!! Could you also cable clamp the wiring underneath your trailer to the rear? i used self tapping metal screws and it was fairly easy...

i probably missed this in the discussion but are you trying to connect your furrion to the truck so the picture comes up on the trucks screen like the other cameras do? After using my interior trailer camera (the GMC version) i've concluded it is not what i am looking for...this camera only comes on when you select it from the screen and only stays on for 8 seconds, then defaults back to the radio or other screen. If you are going less than about 10mph, it stays on. I haven't used the camera (or port) that is for the rear of the trailer, but i suspect it only comes on when selected. I am now just going to use an old ipad (set up in the dashboard tray) and a bluetooth/wifi hotspot-peer-to-peer battery powered wireless camera (Blink system is my first attempt as the battery life is very good). I will experiment with the rear trailer camera to see if it can be selected to stay on or at least until you deselect it...

Cautionary tale of these $200+ cameras! First, they aren't good in the dark (no led) so don't expect to be able to see in a darkened trailer. Secondly, they break just like any other glass lens if dropped! Thanks to my wife throwing the 'cables' into the garage, the camera lens shattered...so now i have a cable and camera body to play around with. once i took apart the camera housing, i realized that the cable (triaxial) simply unplugs from the camera. I've been trying to find a similar camera but they are not seemingly labeled very well in terms of connection type. Since this camera will be mounted on the rear of the trailer, i don't care if its the same type of housing, just want to find a camera that will connect the same way...maybe there is an adapter connection i could get as many cameras use a bnc style. btw, if you are trying to run the cable through a small opening you can take apart the camera housing, unplug it and run that end of the cable through a much smaller hole, then just reconnect.
