GM Ford Rear Camera Cover Trim Retainer 94748652 W714972-S300 | 22161

The 22161 clip secures the plastic cover trim around the rear backup camera housing on GM and Ford vehicles. The camera cover trim gives the assembly a clean, integrated appearance and protects the camera mount from moisture and debris. A failed retainer allows the cover to vibrate, rattle at speed, or become displaced — which can also affect camera alignment.

Signs of a failed rear camera cover retainer include: a rattling sound from the rear of the vehicle, particularly at highway speeds; a visibly loose or misaligned camera cover trim; or the cover trim pulling away from the body surface. In some cases a failed clip allows water to reach the camera housing, causing fogging or moisture buildup on the camera lens.

Use a plastic trim removal tool to carefully pry the camera cover trim away from the body. Remove the old or broken retainer. Press the new 22161 clip into the mounting point until it seats fully, then press the camera cover trim back into place until it snaps flush with the body. No adhesive or additional hardware is required.

The 22161 is available in packs of 25, 50, 100, and 150. Most rear camera cover repairs require only 1 to 4 clips, but a pack of 25 is recommended to have spares on hand. Shops servicing multiple GM or Ford vehicles should stock a pack of 50 or 100 for the best per-clip value.

The 22161 is designed to cross-reference GM OEM 94748652 and Ford OEM W714972-S300, so it will fit any camera cover trim designed for those OEM clips — including factory covers and quality aftermarket replacements that use the same mounting hole dimensions. Always verify the hole size matches before ordering for non-OEM camera cover assemblies.
