Nice work! All the mirror cams I looked at didn't have the correct attachment to attach the mirror to the stock mount, how did you manage to mount this?
The oem-style camlock puck shaped mount is attached to the windshield by glue... I used a heatgun and a putty spatula to remove... this was a little hard to do with the hardtop on and having to sit in the driver seat, to be honest! I got a normal 'wedge' mount at Autozone or something for like $3 and used clear epoxy to attach. Any of those mobile glass repair guys could do the same thing within half an hour if you're worried about trying it yourself.

Damn, I was hoping you found an adapter for our OEM mount.
or equivalent
This is really optional to make everything nice and neat.
1x old RCA cable...
I hacked up an old 3 prong rca cable so that I could still disconnect the mirror harness from the camera which comes terminated with a video signal plug and 12V power plug
Tools:
Wire strippers
Soldering iron and solder is recommended, though you could get away with wire-twisting and electrical tape.
Socket and extension, I thin kit was 8mm? Something like that... to undo the old cylinder lock hardware
Heatgun or hair dryer to soften up OEM mirror mount
Plastic spatula or similar to help remove old mount
