Just added this to my Granite JLUR. Loving it!

Btw, it does reduce the field of view substantially (periphery) but not enough to make it not worth it.

Your cover looks great! You shouldn't have any issue with camera interference at all. If for some reason you are you likely have a locking lug nut installed on your spare. We just discovered this issue today and it is VERY easy to fix. It will only cause a problem if it is installed on the lover lugs below the camera stalk. If the locking lug is installed on either of the top two lugs it will work just fine (see attached image.) The issue is the locking lug is slightly more raised than the standard lug nuts. If it is installed below the camera stalk, it will keep the cover from being completely fitted properly. Believe it or not, a 1/4 inch makes a difference. Try it and your visibility issue should go away.

I just checked and my locking nut is on the top left, like the picture you posted, but my visibility is pretty limited (see the picture).
Could it be that I got a defective one?

Something isn't right. It looks like the face plate is not installed correctly. It appears to be not pushed on all the way.

Sending you a PM with my cell. Please call me so we can figure it out.

Added this to my BW JLUR and very happy. Quality piece,fits well and hopefully will hold up over time. No camera interference at all.
Nice product . Well worth it to keep the sun from drying out the tire over time etc.

There is no camera issue when the cover is installed correctly.
Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong then?
I received and installed the new one you guys sent me but my visibility is still pretty reduced (see picture)

Don’t feel bad. I boned this one too. The shroud around the camera with the plastic torx head screw has to come off. The shroud inside the tire cover will allow its lens gasket to seat perfectly after that. When the Boomco guys say “call me”, that’s what they’re going to say—they have top notch and very personable customer service. My wife has the rigid cover distressed flag in bright white. Beautiful. I have a Hellayella JL on order and will be getting my cover from Boomerang too.

I tried to install today, shroud removed and no locking lug nut.
