Rear Facing Dashcam

I was recently gifted the SJ4000 action cam (essentially a GoPro knockoff) which I plan on using as a dash cam among other things (such as biking, snorkeling, etc..). I have a front-facing dash cam already so I will be placing this in the back.

I'm having difficulty figuring out how to mount it in the rear. I bought a suction cup mount which I am not satisfied with, and wanted to see how you guys have mounted your rear-facing dashcams. I think the ideal location to mount would be along the roof lining - any thoughts on how to best do this?

I mounted my front cam with 3m tape because I was tired of the little.. Thing.. Falling off. Now it never falls. Probably would do the same for a rear cam if I had one

Good suggestion, I ended up doing just that. There is a helmet mount with adhesive tape on it, I used that on the rear window in the upper corner. This allows me to remove the camera easily using a quick release buckle. I would have ideally liked it in the middle, but since it hangs down a few inches I felt it was too obstructive of my view.
