Ok, here's an update on the upsidedown camera...
I took out the 4 screws and was feel pretty foolish for not thinking of this myself. After pulling the 4 screws I found I couldn't get the cover to budge. I considered taking channel locks to the cover but decided against it. I then check it out and figured that I could get a correct view if I mount the camera on the vertical surface. I had to grind the some of the mounting bracket on both sides of the camera, but I eventually got it mounted. The picture looks good, but now I think the camera faces too far down and doesn't give me enough view behind me. At this point I will live with it as is until it breaks or someone steals it. It was only $31 (compared to folks trying to sell rear view cameras for $100-$200). Hopefully the seller will reply to my question and we can work something out.

Thanks for all your help and suggestions.
