Anyone else’s camera horribly distorted at night? Are ford oem wiper blades horrible?

Looks like you have dirt on the camera. It can look clean behind tailgate and look like garbage on screen when it gets dirty.
If you don't like your wipers there are plenty of options. I used to use Bosch but Michelin has been fine too. The large cover kind since we get snow here.

Rear camera seems to get dirty faster than a diaper. Not sure that there is much to do about it other than wiping it from time-to-time.
No love for the OEM wipers, either. My old truck had Bosch Icons that were over 4 years old but still performed better. That will probably be my next upgrade.

I wipe the rear camera off on a somewhat regular basis because of that. It can appear clean but it get's dirty impressively fast. As for the factory wipers, they're bad. Currently have the Rain-X AdvantEdge and they also suck IMO. I've had them on for a few months and they are already past their prime. Leaving streaks even after cleaning the "wiping edge" and starting to come apart at the ends. I have always used Bosch Icon's that have been awesome in the past and should not have gone away from them this time.

Thanks everyone. The camera doesn’t seem to be dirty because during the day it looks good, but at night the distortion from the lights is terrible. I am pretty sure it’s just how it is but wanted to check. Also was just curious about the wipers. Can’t believe I need to change them this quickly - they’ve barely been used

Wipe the camera off with some soapy water and check it again tonight. Dust isn't an issue in day that can cause issues at night.

Going to do the same, wipers on my 24 are crap right off the lot and apparently have 0 warranty on them.

Going to get some Bosch icons, has anyone tried larger ones like 24in on the 2024s? Apparently they would fit on older models not sure of the new model
