Backup camera froze to car

Heads up this winter!

Here in NJ was raining all day yesterday and overnight the temperature dropped well below freezing.
This morning the car had some ice on it, but I didn't think to check the VW logo where the camera shoots out while backing up and let me tell you it made a real scary rough sound when it must of pried through some ice, that probably had frozen the logo to the hatch.
Luckily it looks like it made it through the ice and its not damaged, just a heads up this winter to maybe clear that logo and make sure its not frozen, cause I can see that causing a problem for some.

Thought about that being an issue as well... thanks for the heads up. Without a doubt I'll forget to take a look on some mornings,... hoping that mechanism is solid.

Good call

Can you switch it off during the winter months to save damage??
