I can never find a suitable place to mount my GoPro inside the car. I want to fabricate a mount that will put the camera at about head height, just behind the speaker box, right in the middle.

If you pull up the carpet in the rear hatch area there are some pre-tapped bolt holes in the deck just behind the speaker box assembly. There are four of them. The one farthest to the right is for the child seat restraint and it is a bigger bolt than the two holes in the center.

These would be perfect for bolting a mount to that rear deck area but I do not know the thread size. Anyone know the thread size for these holes or what they are for?

 

No one knows? Well, I don't know either but I did find screws to fit them in my can of used parts.

So I made this to hold the camera. Not perfectly steady but not bad either. With a small strap going back to the strut tower it is perfectly steady.

With the GoPro FOV set to medium it is perfect. You can see well out the windshield, you can see the driver, the dash cluster and my iPhone with LapTimer running on it too.

 

You could always get the suction cup mount and put a couple extensions and just stick it to the inside rear window near the brake light facing forward (and even leaning forward to get it closer in space to where you are trying to put it)

 

damn that was highly unnecessary

 

I've seen that set up before. Looks like it would vibrate a lot, especially the one on top. If not, it looks easy enough to make. Would not be useful with instructor in the car.
