snugtop outback canopy interface with ford camera system

I just had a snugtop outback canopy that I ordered installed a few days ago. I was really excited for this canopy. Coming back to a truck after 7 years with a van, this canopy just felt right. There are some issues (paint match, faulty windows) but snugtop is fixng all the issues without any hesitation. I just have to send it back and wait 6 weeks, oh well. One issue that i really want to address is the rear view camera. The image quality is really poor and it is completely disconnected from the factory system. the 360 image is now just black in the rear of the truck, and when i put it in reverse i have to manually select the rear camera on the display screen to active the canopy camera.

What i was thinking about doing was removing the factory camera and wiring from the tailgate and mounting it as close to its original location on the new rear canopy door. My hope is to get back to a stock camera configuration. any thoughts on this? do you see any major roadblocks? thanks in advance.

I've also been looking into this issue- Here is the solution that I've found.

You can easily remove the rear OEM camera from your tailgate in about 5 minutes.
Here is a video:

Buy this relocation housing for the camera and mount it just above the handle on the rear door, so it is in the same location as it was in the tailgate.

If your camera has some fogging, then buy this kit which includes a new OE Ford camera with the housing: https://www.mnrelectronics.com/250-8...y-ford-camera/

Using the OEM camera, and having it back in its original position, your 360 camera and all trailering functions should work again!!
