    Go to Bunnings and get the 3M Dual lock Then if you need to you can swap the cameras into a different vehicle simply by buying a second set of power cords. I made a new one myself and lengthened it so when I was overseas it fitted in my rentals. Took some Dual lock and just swapped camera between the 4 rentals I had.

    Simples.

    3rd one is front camera and all that you can see of the wiring. Also held on with Duallock tape
    Both have been there for well over two years and never fallen off.

    Power is from the fuse box in RH end of dash and there is a power magic for the rear camera to allow for parking mode
    The rear camera wiring is under door trims and up over rear wheel arch and pulled through into seal with a bit of wire accessable from the little door in rhand side You can wedge the trim out far enough to get it through

    Last two are fuse box and I used two spare sockets that had power in the top half and used the fuse from Jaycar (last pic)
    The power magic is wrapped in the bubble wrap to stop rattles

    Like you I gave up on trying to get the wire through the grommet into the door and just compromised as shown Have never managed to bump camera but then Im really fussy about what I put in the car.
    Resurrecting an old thread, I am having this exact issue at the moment and the above post sounds like the solution however the pics are no longer there... Any chance you could be a legend and repost the pics Hillbilly?

    A bit hard as dont have them but if you go here and follow what they say its the same 404 | AutoInstruct and got to Golf Mk7. Has pics The wiggle connector between the car and the tail door comes out like this Put a fine screwdriver or body tool down the outer end of the connector in the car wedge it towards centre and it will pull up Same at other end in the taildoor. BY outer end I mean the end thats obvious and the wiggle bit goes away from it. I used a knitting needle to poke through it and taped the camera cable to it and used some "Personal Lubricant" to help it slide through A bit of a job but it went in the finish.

    You are able to attach it to the panel at the rear of the roof but need the metal bit to stick it to as wont stick to the plastic. I just got a bit of Colorbond flashing and bent it like a peg and it gripped the piece ok slid in from the front. Above tells you ho to do it the proper way Here you go I found it in the archives
