Thanks for this, folks. Yes as regards the cover on the interior of the door. You remove that to get access to the mirror mounting, right? If so: how?

when I installed my OEM M3 side mirrors onto my ZHP I used this thread as a guide....
PERFECT! Thank you!
Just did this conversion with no DIY. Accidentally completely severed the ribbon cables on the driver side. Successfully scraped them and soldered back together. On the passenger side I actually did away with the large piece of plastic inside and mounted my motors directly to the rectangular base, with a spacer in between. Got my mirrors for 200 as well

Good job! I wasn't so fortunate. Even after soldering, my motors are still dead

I scraped the insulation off the ribbon cables, overlaid, and carefully soldered. Luckily I had a new iron with a very fine point. Amazed they still work

I did the same procedure and verified the connections with a multimeter but no joy

Did you have the plastic cable heads on correctly. When I originally tested they didn't work but I since I had pulled the pins out of the head to feed them through, I tried switching them and it worked
