Shroud on our Back-Up Camera: Question

Our back up camera points straight down. Don't want this. It has adjustments to pan further out so I can see cars behind me.

Problem is.....the shroud is not adjustable and cuts off the view.

Think I can take a Dremel saw (or something) and cut off part of the upper portion, without damaging the entire shroud?

Can't find shrouds on camera mfr's websites.

Any ideas, please ?

I changed the camera to a color model and had the same problem. I used a dremil tool to enlarge the hole with no problems.

Did the Dremel fix on mine, too. I had taken the shroud off and adjusted the camera and putting the shroud back on moved the camera back to looking at the bumper! Ten minutes with the Dremel solved the problem.
