I’ve tried RainX and a ceramic bonding but nothing keeps rain off the front and rear cameras. Are there any other products to try?

I have the same problem you do. I wonder if we can get some aftermarket little awning to put over the top of the camera if that will help, or being able to switch to the bed camera which is coming from what I gather.

I would be weary of putting ceramic coating on the camera lenses (as it’s hard to remove). My Tesla had this done with a whole body ceramic and I have a feeling as the ceramic coating has aged it’s hazed the lenses and is more likely to catch a sun reflection / obscuring the cameras. Im sure there’s a solution to remove the coating, I haven’t looked into it.

An awning will not help, it’s so bad in the back because this is where the vortex of wind comes off your vehicle. The water will whisp in backwards as it comes off the underside of your vehicle.

They make aftermarket hydrophobic covers for other vehicles. I am hoping that will happen soon for rivians.

being In the northwest I have learned to just run my finger over the lens when I walk by the back of the truck
