2011 Taurus sho rear camera replacement question.

2011 backup camera replacement question. This is in housing under spoiler. It seems like a real pain in the butt to get to. Am I missing something? I have a replacement camera coming and decided to pull trim early to rtv the spoiler attachment points because my trunk is leaking.

I threw a hail Mary and blasted the heck out of the connections with dielectric spray and that fixed the camera (for now) but would love to replace it for aftermarket as this one seems to be really crappy quality anyways.

I see a lot of people saying 2013+ is easy but not a lot of people talking about the ones that seem to be pretty much integrated with the spoilers.

Found this from a guy on Facebook group. The attachment point looks different. Then what's shown in service manual. What are the odds that I have to use a torx socket to remove this to be able to access camera? What are the odds that I have to razor blade off the foam on the bottom and there's a screw there?

Success! Could not find a new one that wasn't 400$ so went with a used model. Not the normal replacement camera. If you need a regular one for a car without a spoiler let me know. Imha have a brand new one I ordered off Amazon
