George,
If your 2002 is like my 2000 was, there is a small panel on the rear wall of your bedroom closet. Remove the 4 screws and the panel will come off giving you access to the camera. You should be able to make the needed adjustments then.

Steve, have you found an access to the rear camera in your 07 Contessa?  Ours has quit functioning and I am trying to trouble shoot. Thanks

Camera works so haven't looked. I'll try to take a look this weekend. There has to an access panel (I hope).

George, my 03 PT also has the access panel in the closet.  I just took it off to look and the back of the camera is plainly visible.  Doesn't appear adjustable but a shim or two should do it if it isn't.

Don,
Camera access on the 07 Contessa is from the outside. 4 screws hold the cover on (remove silicon sealer also) amd you should have access. If the camera is shot, ther are a number of very reasonable (<$50) cameras on Amazon. I relaced the unit in our Marquis with a Jenson that worked perfectly.

Thanks Steve, I suspected as much was just reluctant to break the seal.
