Default How vulnerable is Rear Camera?

Just wondering how vulnerable is the Rear Camera to bumper to bumper street parking damage. In other words can it withstand the normal abuse of tight parallel parking in cities?

Thanks.

The camera is above the license plate near the top inside edge of the trunk lid, I suppose a truck could do damage to it, but that is still a pretty high bumber. Just as an fyi I pulled my Sequoia up to it and it cant hit the camera with the bumper.

That's right, the camera is fairly well protected where it sits. Normal parking situations won't bother it at all. I suppose you could back into a jeep with a winch above the bumper, but we're looking for trouble here.

Don't worry.
