2015 ML backup camera lens cover?

I have a 2024 ML with no lens cover
Does anyone know if the 2015 have a cover on the backup camera LENS preventing the lens to become dirty?

Has anyone retro fitted it onto a 2014 ML

These wet dirty MN winter roads has me cleaning the lens daily

thank you

Yes, my 2015 has the lens cover. I also have the 360 degree viewing, haven't checked to see if that makes a difference.

On our 2014 ML350 the backup camera retracts to prevent the camera lens from getting dirty. I thought all the 2014's were fitted with that feature.

Same here. Excellent idea, most of the time camera is hidden and open when need it. Always clean ))

Can't confirm, I didn't even think about when we looked for a car.

I think its standard with the ones that have the 360 camera have that with it, which again (mercedes being mercedes) prooves themselves with their prices and their options
