Back UP Camera Image display

[JRES]

Hi all,
I have a 2024 Bronco Sport with 25K miles on it. Have noticed that the display is not all that clear lately even after cleaning the back up lens. Took it to my dealer for other service and i mentioned it to them. They took a look and said the back up lens is scratched and not covered under warrant. I am in VT and drive on dirt roads, and with my prior vehicles never have had such an issue. The are wanting over $600.00 dollars to replace the camera. Any one with such an issue., and suggestions.

Thanks

It took me a long time to even start using it. I guess one of the good things about being as old as the dinosaur. None of the auto Nannie’s even existed for most of our driving years.

Personally, I prefer the rearview mirror. That does require the rear window to be clean.

You could look into some polishing paste to see if that would clean it up.

I have a 2025 with a bumper to bumper warranty if my dealer tells me something is not covered I'm going off!! Call Ford and if necessary call a lawyer

If the backup camera lens is scratched that is damage & is NOT covered under warranty. Why call a lawyer for something that is not covered?

Same issue with my 23 Maverick. Blurred image and lens clean. Ford dealer replaced under warranty. If they won't honor it then I think its pretty easy to replace yourself.

Do you use a car wash by chance?

Don’t know what mater the lens is made out of, but you might try one of the headlight restoration products (don’t use the power polisher ) or some jeweler’s rouge to polish out the scratches. Might not work, but what have you got to lose?

Just getting dirty does not damage the lens. Improper cleaning does. That would be an owner issue not Ford.

Some very fine sand paper and some rubbing compound followed by polishing compound would help. All done by hand and with water for lubrication.
