Also, through all my reading it seems like there are lots of broken ribbon cables which I'd really like to avoid. Besides wrapping with packing tape at the end, is there anything else to help? Did I understand correctly that the connector on the end of the cable needs to be removed?
Sergy used to 3D print the mirror motor base plates but he has moved and no longer prints them. Regarding broken ribbon cabling, just take your time and when feeding them thru the OE mirrors pull/push them thru gently. I got my mirror motors out with no issues. And yes you read correctly, in order to feed the ribbon cabling out of the OE mirror assembly, you need to remove the plugs at the end of the ribbon cable then it will feed thru. This process is not too hard to do.
